Brief Answer:
Not to be concerned,need to have full report...

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I'd ask to have all your MRCP report for a more specific judgement.

1. If you do not have any symptom, the tiny cysts found in your left kidney are not of concern. They might be there since birth or might have developed with time.

2. Omentum is the layer that insulates all the abdominal organs. Omentum consists of fat. That is normal. If the fat is in excessiveness, then, might be suggestive of belly fat (also if it correlates with clinical findings of obesity or being overweight).

Hope it answered to your queries!
Let me know if you need further clarifications!
