Multicameral kidney cyst, causes and main signs of its formation

A multi-chambered kidney cyst is another thin-walled cyst that is located on one of the poles of the kidney. It is considered a pathology that occurs in the process of embryonic organ formation, but is very rare. The unaffected area of ​​the kidney parenchyma remains normal, and the cyst is distinguished from unchanged kidney tissue.

This is important! Characteristic features of the formation of a multi-chamber cyst in the kidney include one-sided lesion and the presence of several cavities. This neoplasm does not have kidney tissue in its membranes. They include only fibrous tissue. With a strong increase in the cyst, it is well probed.

As a rule, this pathology is not manifested in any way and does not require a surgical procedure. The patient is simply encouraged to undergo a continuous ultrasound examination. This type of cyst refers to benign forms and can occur together with other kidney lesions - infarction, pyelonephritis, tumor, glomerulonephritis, tuberculosis, infectious lesions, necrotic diseases.

Signs of formation of pathology

Characteristic signs of the cyst is its one-sidedness, the presence of several cavities without the presence of direct communication with the system of pelvis and calyx buds. In the septum neoplasm there is no renal parenchyma, and outside the cystic neoplasm it remains unchanged. In the septa between the cyst chambers there is only a fibrous tissue. Small formations are lined with cubic epithelium.

If the cyst grows too much, the kidney begins to feel.

The multicameral cyst usually does not have clinical symptoms, so surgery is not required. Only in some cases, when the neoplasm becomes too large, pain develops and the operation may be required. Preference is given to cyst extraction or excision of the kidney. Some specialists are limited to conducting marsupialization, and occasionally a nephrectomy is organized. For some patients whose cyst has increased to large sizes, and causes pain, especially when conducting an active lifestyle, nephrectomy is required.

With a microscopic examination between the cysts, primitive glomeruli and ducts are detected, as well as zones with cartilaginous tissues. If both kidneys are affected immediately, death may occur in the first days of the child's life. When only one of the paired organs is affected, the diagnosis is made quite randomly when the tuberous tumor tumor is felt or by the results of an ultrasound examination. Sometimes, with unilateral damage, pathologies of the formation of the second kidney are observed, for example, hydronephrosis transformation, cardiac malformations, pathologies of the gastrointestinal tract, etc.

This is important! The disease is manifested by dull and paroxysmal pains in the abdomen and in the lumbar region. Arterial hypertension can also be detected.

The need for an operation

In some cases, it is simply necessary to organize the operation, namely:

• When the enlarged neoplasm strongly presses on the urinary canals.
• When the enlarged neoplasm presses on the kidney itself.
• The renal cyst is torn.
• Infection enters the cavity of the cyst and an inflammatory process develops.
• Provokes pain.
• It grows too fast and reaches large sizes.
• The kidney ceases to realize its work due to the impact of the cyst.
• Pressure increase.
• Hemorrhages in the neoplasm.
• Cancer cells in the cyst.

In the surgical operation for the renal cyst, several different approaches are implemented:

• Enucleation is the excision of cystic neoplasm.
• Resection - excision of the walls of the tumor.
• Removal of an organ together with a cyst.
• Removal of an organ or part of it.

This is important! Sometimes an operation is contraindicated to a person - when the cyst does not show itself, the urine leakage is not disturbed, in case of coagulation, in serious condition, is provoked by concomitant pathological factors.
