Hello
Thanks for writing to HCM
You have renal cortical cyst.It is age related finding and generally doesn't require any treatment unless they are symptomatic.
Firstly,it is necessary to confirm whether it is simple or complex cyst.Contrast CT Scan of abdomen can be done if there is doubt.
You also need few more investigations like routine hemogram,RBS,RFT.Further investigations can be done if needed.
You should consult nephrologist.
Hope i have answered your query.
Get well soon.
Take Care
