Hello
Thanks for writing to HCM
Cysts in liver and kidney doesn't cause hypertension.
Simple cysts are age related findings and these are benign findings.
Recent uncontrolled blood pressure may be due to other reasons like irregular dose,stress etc.
You should consult your physician.
Get well soon.
Take Care
