What is the right kidney cyst? It turns out that this is how it is formed

The right kidney cyst is not inherited but acquired. It is caused by the damaged tissue cells releasing a series of nephrotoxic factors. The right kidney cyst is 2-3cm, has no symptoms and does not require treatment; the right kidney cyst recurs after puncture treatment, is there any other treatment method; will the right kidney cyst affect kidney function, etc.

1. The pathogenesis of right kidney cyst is different from that of polycystic kidney disease . The right kidney cyst is not inherited but acquired. Research in the 21st century suggests that it may develop from renal tubular diverticula. With age, the number of distal tubules and collecting duct diverticula increases, and the incidence of right renal cysts also increases.

2. The right kidney cyst is 2-3cm, with no symptoms and no need for treatment; the right kidney cyst recurred after puncture treatment, is there any other treatment method; will the right kidney cyst affect kidney function, etc. The natural changes of right renal cysts are slow, mainly an increase in number, followed by a slight increase in size, and a few slight reductions. Right kidney cysts generally cause symptoms such as low back pain, back pain, and high blood pressure. They may also cause hematuria and local pain. They may also cause calyx obstruction and secondary infection, but they will not lead to renal failure.

3. The formation of right kidney cyst is due to the release of a series of nephrotoxic factors by damaged tissue cells, which cause phenotypic transformation of kidney intrinsic cells and accelerate the speed of renal damage. In particular, after the fibroblasts distributed in the renal interstitium are transformed into myofibroblasts, they secrete and synthesize a large amount of extracellular matrix and immune complexes that are not easily degraded. Due to the imbalance of the dynamic balance between the synthesis and degradation of the extracellular matrix, a large amount of extracellular matrix accumulates, causing glomerular sclerosis and tubular atrophy, so that the renal fibrosis tissue gradually replaces the healthy renal units, and the kidney function is gradually lost. It can be seen that timely treatment of right kidney cyst is very important.
