Prognosis for Renal Cyst 3cm

Prognosis of renal cyst 3 cm will be totally different from that in normal cases if the cyst keep enlarging. Generally speaking, kidney cyst with size less than 3 cm requires no treatment, but that does not mean you can let it go, and if really do, you may have a extremely poor prognosis.

In many cases of renal cyst 3 cm, patients say "I have no symptoms, nor any discomforts and I do not need any treatment". Actually, this is a totally wrong thought. We know kidney is composed of two millions of nephrons and slight damage to kidney send no signals to the body at all. Under such a condition, patients pay no attention to the cyst and kidney, leading to the phenomenon that many people are diagnosed with advanced kidney disease when they realize there is something wrong with their kidney. And also this is the reason why so many kidney cyst patients have poor prognosis. If they attach enough more importance to kidney cyst and treat it actively once kidney damages are caused, prognosis will be not so bad.

In order to have a good prognosis with renal cyst 3 cm, patients need to pay attention to many aspects in their life:

Firstly, they need to have regularly test about their cyst, so as to know whether the cyst is enlarging. If yes, medical treatment should be given to eliminate or shrink the cyst.

Secondly, changing your diet by limiting protein intake and avoid drinking too much alcohol. Clinical study show that alcohol stimulate kidney cyst and promote its growth. When renal cyst becomes larger than 3cm, medical treatment will be needed. Therefore, adjusting your diet will help you have a good prognosis.

Thirdly, try to avoid movements which can cause heavy knock to your waist, as renal cyst has a risk to rupture. In generally, renal cyst with size 3 cm does not rupture easily, but if you are careless enough, it will rupture easily.

Fourthly, avoid high blood pressure and high blood sugar. Both high blood sugar and high blood pressure can worsen your kidney condition, so try to keep them under control if you have developed these problems.

Prognosis of renal cyst 3 cm actually depends on many aspects, but mostly patient's attitude and action. Therefore, to offer yourself of good prognosis, please make sure you can attach enough more important and do enough more to control your cyst.
