Cyst of the parenchyma of the right kidney: the causes, symptoms and treatment of this ailment
Parenchyma is the main tissue of the kidneys. Together with the system of urination forms a capsule, which performs the function of maintaining the body's environment and removing harmful metabolic products. Depending on the age, the parenchyma of a healthy kidney can be from 15 to 23 mm, in elderly people - from 10 to 11 mm. The thickness is affected not only by age, but also by the state of health. As a result of diseases of the urethra it is thinned. The renal parenchyma has a high recovery ability.
Concept and consequences of this disease
As the main tissue of the kidney, the parenchyma is sensitive to acute, chronic diseases, as well as to various kinds of neoplasms. In our case, cysts. This formation is 3 to 10 cm in size, filled with liquid. When the nephron is held liquid - a simple kidney cyst is formed. Usually it is a lonely, thin-walled neoplasm that develops from the parenchyma.
A cyst is always formed on one side only. Often this disease can be a genetic predisposition. It is oval or round in shape, consisting of: serous and hemorrhagic substance. Happens, in a serous liquid contains pus or blood. About half of the cases are characterized by the detection on the kidney of several cysts. Cyst solitary usually affects men.
This disease is serious, because it passes almost without any symptoms for a certain period. The cyst of the parenchyma of the right kidney is a hollow single tumor with thin walls. But when it grows, it begins to press on the neighboring organs. During this period, pain occurs when urinating.
This is important! The right kidney cyst can fester and burst. Sometimes, it squeezes the vessels of the kidneys and because of this, the pressure rises.
The diffuse nature of the cyst of the right kidney parenchyma can change for no reason. This or the first stage of urolithiasis or disorder. In any case, only complex research will be able to fully determine the disruption of the functioning of the body.
Symptoms of the disease and its causes
This serious disease has many symptoms divided into species:
- The presence of blood in the urine( hematuria).
- Increased pressure.
- Pain in the lumbar region with palpations.
- Neoplasms( can be fingered, but it's better to go to a specialist).
As for the etiology of this disease, the causes of cyst formation are usually the following:
- genetic location;
- injury;
- congenital anomaly;
- kidney disease.
How the treatment and diagnosis of this disease is performed
Each time the diagnosis should start with screening, X-ray and other methods. Then follows a tomography, later - a percutaneous puncture of a cyst. To determine the state of the parenchyma, use CT and ultrasound.
In order to accurately determine the parenchyma( its current status), as a rule, specialists conduct ultrasound and the so-called CT scan. During the diagnosis, you must indicate which of the kidneys is sick.
To treat a cyst of the right kidney parenchyma you need not only medication, but also promptly. Most likely, a penchant for a cyst was transmitted hereditarily. The condition of the parenchyma is determined by the methods of magnetic resonance imaging, ultrasound. If the examination reveals a diffuse change, this indicates a disease( urolithiasis or vascular disease).
Timely removal of the cyst, as a rule, leads to a rapid recovery. When the new growth is not more than 5 cm, it is considered benign. And if the patient does not have complaints, then the operation is not done, but for some time they are carrying out preventive maintenance and systematic examination.
