What Causes Cyst And Parenchymal Calcification On The Kidney?
Hi 2 days ago my father in law underwent ultrasound scanning and the results are as follows:
1. Urinary Bladder-- Mildly thickening urinary bladder wall measuring upto 6mm. Prevoid- 220cc, Postvoid-170cc, significant postvoid residue
2. Prostate- Measuring 3.8 x 2.9 x 3.0 ( volume 18cc)
Mild cyst measuring 1.3 x 0.8 cms noted
parenchymal calcification noted
We are really worried about this. As i have surfed about this it was written it might be stone or cancer...
This is worriyng us a lot. The appoint with our family doctor is on 30th dec. So, could you please let us know about this soon so that we can get some relief.
Thanks

Hello
Parenchymal calcification in kidney is different from renal calculus.It is not not calculus or cancerous.
Parenchymal calcification may be due to many causes like vascular etc.It is not a serious finding and it is generally a age related finding.
Main findings are thickened urinary bladder wall and significant post void residual urine.
Thickened urinary bladder wall may be due to changes of cystitis(chronic infection in urinary bladder).
As size of prostate is normal,significant post void residual urine may be related to neural component.
Findings also suggest a small cyst in kidney,it is generally age related developmental finding.
In short,findings doesn't indicate cancer or calculus.You need proper evaluation by a urologist.
Get well soon.
Take Care
