Does A Cyst On Kidney Cause Intestinal Problems ?

my husband has a cyst on his kidney with some brown discoloration. we are seeing a specialist at a cancer facility for treatment. he also has many intestinal issues including severe gas, soft stools or liquid stools, is extremely tired and hasn t felt good for a long time. he has had many tests, including c-t scans, endoscopy, blood work, etc. they continue to find nothing, but have recently done a stool sample and we are waiting for results. is it possible they could be related.

Hi,

Polycystic kidney disease has association with other systems. We do not know if your husband suffers from one. it would be interesting to know if he has family history of PCKD. Highly unlikey that your husband has a serious problem given the list of tests are superlatives like CT scan and Endoscopy.

Wait for the stool test result.
