Could Cysts In Both Kidneys, Extreme Fatigue Indicate Cancer?

I have left side (flank) pain had a CT scan and found small cysts in both kidneys. Some they reported are "conspicuous" or are hemorrhagic or possibly solid and so they recommend an MRI . I also have extreme fatigue that comes in waves. Could this be a cancerous situation?

Urologist,  's  Response
Hello
Thanks for query
You had a flank pain on left side and your C.T Scan has revealed multiple cysts in both the kidneys .

Normally they is congenital in origin and benign in nature and do not require any treatment .

However since they are reported to be conspicuous and hemorrhagic you need to get investigated further to establish diagnosis .

Please consult qualified Urologist for clinical examination and get following basic tests done to confirm the diagnosis.
1) Contrast C.T scan of abdomen
2) MRI
3) Renal function tests.

Further treatment will depend upon result of these tests and final diagnosis.
