What Does This Ultrasound Report Indicate?

Had labs done for kidneys and they are all abnormal had them redone due to numbers being high and they still came back high for creatine and potassium and a couple others. I am diabetic and now the ultrasound said they found some Mild cortical thinning and Small 1.3 cm subcortical cyst in the left upper pole. Sounds pretty serious no??? is this something that can be managed or is this ultimately leading to kidney failure???

Hi,

You have a renal cyst but it is not serious till your other kidney is working properly. But if your creatinine level is very high then it is serious. Please send me your creatinine level and potassium level so that I can help you further.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Hardik Sanghvi, Hematologist
