Are Bilateral Renal Cysts A Matter Of Concern?
Hi, I recently have had a diagnosis of a 4.1 mm kidney stone still up at the kidney confirmed via ultrasound. Urine sample came back with no infection, but rare atypical urothelial cells. Ultrasound results also listed bilateral renal cysts suggested. Is this a great cause for concern?

Hello,
The renal cyst are usually benign and need not to be worry about that. However your urine report suggestive of some atypical cells that need to be concerned. Atypical cells cannot be seen normally.
I suggest you repeat your urine cytology report again after few days. If atypical cells persist than you need to consult Urologist regarding discussion of taking biopsy for histopathology examination.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
