Kidney cysts are lumps in the form of pockets filled with air or fluid that form in the kidneys.
According to the Cleveland Clinic, kidney cysts usually form on the surface of the kidney and the nephron of the kidney.
Nerfon is part of the kidney in the form of filters and tubes that function to remove excess fluid and waste products from the body in the form of urine.
Kidney cysts can vary in size, from the size of a pea to the size of a fist. These lumps can also grow over time.
