Question : Can you interpret this: Results from CT Scan: "There is a 1 cm low-attenuation lesion within the upper pole the left kidney which is too small to definitively characterize, this can be followed up"
Brief Answer:
Follow up once a year
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, welcome to Ask a doctor service.
I read your query and here is my advice.
This means that you have a formation which absorbs few x-ray photons so that has lower density related to surrounding tissues.
It measures 1 cm and is considered too small to characterise and may need to be followed up.
The follow up consists on doing periodically tests such CT or ultrasound possibly once a year.
Hope I have answered the question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
