Kitakini.news Kidney cyst disease is a kidney disorder caused by the appearance of fluid-filled sacs (cysts) in the kidney tissue. Kidney cysts can occur in one or both kidneys.
The cause of the formation of cysts in the kidneys is not known with certainty. However, the age factor is thought to have influenced the appearance of kidney cysts. In general, kidney cysts are harmless, benign and rarely cause symptoms. Kidney cysts are different from polycystic kidney disease which is caused by genetic factors.
Quote from alodokterHowever, kidney cysts are usually only detected when the sufferer undergoes an examination for medical check-up purposes because they often do not cause symptoms. Kidney cysts that do not cause symptoms also do not need to be treated specifically.
Symptoms of Kidney Cysts
Kidney cysts usually do not cause symptoms. However, symptoms may appear when the cyst grows large enough or presses on other organs. These symptoms include:
a. Demam
b. Heartburn
c. Swelling of the abdomen
d. Urinating more often
e. Urine that is dark in color or contains blood
f. Pain that feels like pressing in the waist or lower back. In addition, the pain will also get worse when the cyst ruptures.
The cause
In contrast to polycystic kidney disease which is caused by heredity, the cause of kidney cysts is still unknown. However, the cause is because there is a surface layer of the kidney that begins to weaken and forms a pocket. The sac then fills with fluid, detaches and becomes a cyst.
Kidney cyst disease is more common in men than women. In addition, kidney cysts are also more common in people over the age of 50. Kidney cysts are difficult to treat. However, you can detect it first by doing medical check up periodically.
How to prevent it
Some prevention efforts for kidney cysts, including:
a. Regular health checks per year
b. Exercise regularly to improve kidney health
c. Avoid taking pain relievers
d. A balanced diet by reducing sweet and fatty foods
e. Avoiding stress that can trigger or worsen the signs and symptoms of kidney cysts
