CT Scan Done Due To Constant Pain In Stomach. What Does The Report Mean?

I have been to many different doctors and they all say their is nothing wrong but I constantly hurt in my stomach area. I have had a resent CT of the pelvis with contrast and it showed the right kidney is diminutive in size measuring 7.6 cm cranial caudal dimension with multiple foci of cortical renal scarring. 10 mm right upper pole renal cyst incidentally noted what does this mean?

Hi,
Thanks for posting your query.
I am Dr.Ratnakar and I am pleased to assist you.
Your CT scan report says your right kidney is damaged. It is shrunken in size and scarred. In the upper portion of your right kidney, you have a 1 cm size fluid filled lesion.
You need to consult a Nephrologist for evaluation of scarred right kidney.
I hope that answers your question.
Regards.
