Stage 5 CKD, Acquired Kidney Cyst of 2.1, Dialysis

A:

From what you have described above, these multiple cysts in your kidneys are cussed by long term dialysis. It is one common type of kidney cysts and it is called acquired kidney cysts which are very common among end stage kidney disease patients especially those that have been taking long-term dialysis. Usually acquired kidney cysts will not affect kidney structure and kidney functions especially when they are smaller than 3cm. However you still need to pay more attention in daily life to avoid foods such as tobacco, alcohol, coffee, spicy and excitant foods, etc, avoid strenuous activities and physical traumas which might cause the cysts to get rupture and cause severe consequences.

Since the cysts are caused by long term dialysis, what you need to do is to receive more effective treatments to improve kidney functions so as to get rid of dialysis or at least reduce the frequency of dialysis and extend the interval between dialysis so as to prevent the formation of further cysts.
