How to treat a kidney cyst in women and men

The kidneys may not disturb, but this does not always mean that they are in order. During ultrasound (ultrasound), many people over the age of 50 suddenly find out that they have a cyst. Can it disappear and how to recover?

What is a kidney cyst and is it dangerous?

This is not a cancerous formation. It looks like a cavity (capsule) containing fluid inside. She can be from birth or appear in life. Her culprits - DNA damage at the level of genes, infection or kidney tuberculosis, hypertension, stones, age-related changes. In 90% of cases they are not life threatening and do not require treatment. With the right diet, follow the advice of a doctor will not cause problems and can dissolve. But sometimes a cyst causes serious concerns among the medical profession. It all depends on what's inside.

If you find serous (serum) content, then do not worry. With hemorrhagic contents, there is blood inside, so an abscess is possible due to inflammation. Infection should be removed. Cysts are dangerous if they grow fast. Breaks, hemorrhages are possible. May be reborn into a cancerous tumor. In these cases, without a surgeon can not do.

Classification and types of formations

According to the structure of the cyst, kidneys are:

  1. Simple (solitary) consist of one chamber with a liquid. They are common, malignant outgrow rarely.
  2. Complicated ones consist of multiple cavities (polycystic). They sometimes replace the entire structure of the kidney. With extensive damage, their function is impaired. Can be reborn in cancer education. There are multi-chamber, with modified walls, calcification and partitions.

According to the location and shape of the cyst is divided into one - and bilateral, parenchymal (in the thickness of the kidneys), sinus, parapelvic. By reason of occurrence, primary cysts that arise due to hereditary pathology and secondary ones that form for many reasons are distinguished.

Acquired and congenital

The cyst obtained during lifetime is the result of kidney injuries, various diseases and inflammations. Formed during life affects one or both kidneys. The following classes of acquired cysts are distinguished:

  • cortical located in the cortical layer;
  • multi-chamber capture different areas of the kidneys;
  • intraparenchymal (complex and simple) are located in the tissues of the organ;
  • okolokhanchatye - located next to the pelvis, but does not come into contact with it;
  • parapelvial - localized at the gate of the kidney, have vivid symptoms. May have serious consequences.

Congenital cysts are less common, they are genetically determined. There are such types:

  1. Solitary - found in men, affects the left kidney. Sometimes several capsules are found simultaneously. They have a round shape, inside there are no constrictions, other flow-through connections. Contain serous fluid with pus or blood. It says that it was formed after the injury.
  2. Multikistosis - the formed cavities are similar to a solid cyst. The kidneys begin to work poorly, but produce a little urine. Multikistosis happens infrequently, 1: 100.
  3. Polycystic - affects both kidneys with many formations similar to grapes. Has hereditary predisposition.
  4. Dermoid - congenital cysts with exoderma (fat, teeth, hair, bone tissue).

Sinus, solitary and parenchymal

  1. Sinus (parapelvic) cyst of the kidney - a capsule in the gate of the kidney, next to the large cups and renal pelvis. Inside them contains liquid. These are simple cysts. Found only in the sinus (small cavity) of the kidney.
  2. Solitary (simple) is benign. It is voluminous, with thin walls. Develops from the renal parenchyma, inside - serous fluid. Located at the top or bottom of the renal segment. It is innate.
  3. Parenchymatous - capsule with a liquid in the tissues of the kidney. It has an oval or spherical shape, affects one kidney, both rarely. Does not depend on gender, patients are more at risk after 40 years. Education is more than 10 cm. It threatens to tear the kidney tissue.

Subcapsular, parapelvic and avascular

  1. The subcapsular cyst of the kidney is a benign tumor, located under its capsule. If it appeared due to injury, then there is blood or pus in it.
  2. Parapelvic - leathery pouch with fluid in the renal sinus. The cyst does not disturb, without bright manifestations. Detected during diagnosis. These 2 types of formations often affect the left kidney. People after 55 years are ill, and congenital pathology is possible.
  3. Avascular - kidney cytosis, when they are far from the gate of the kidney, but associated with its tissue. Education is not supplied with blood, as seen with ultrasound. It feeds on other tissues. Dangerous, can be reborn into malignant. If it is detected, the therapy is not delayed.

Hemorrhagic, parasitic and calcified

  1. Hemorrhagic cyst of the kidney is formed by the outpouring of blood into it. It happens with its large size, if the patient with a neoplasm had an injury. Subject to compulsory treatment. Solitary cysts become hemorrhagic. They are close to the sinuses or large vessels, squeezing them. Many cysts after infection become hemorrhagic, their shells and capsules become inflamed.
  2. Parasitic - an organ that infects parasitic worms. Larvae are carried with blood into it. First, the cyst does not bother. Then symptoms appear. It can dislodge the kidneys, expand and deform the pelvis and calyx. Feeling is like poisoning: lethargy, lack of appetite, nausea. Further weight decreases, itchy skin, renal colic, chills, pain under the rib and lower back. Treatment operative, make an organ resection.
  3. Calcined - Solitary cysts often resolve. But sometimes they develop into multi-chamber capsules. Then its wall thickens, calcium is deposited in it. Ultrasound shows the shell, not transmitting ultrasound. Calcium is in the partitions between the chambers of the cyst. They are surgically removed due to the threat of reborn into cancer.

The classification of kidney cysts can also be found in the following video:

Cyst kidney code on ICD 10 - what does it mean?

For the classification of all human diseases, a registry has been created, which is called the International Classification of Diseases (ICD).

The cysts of both kidneys of ICD 10 (benign lesions on them) are a common disease, they affect 70% of the world's inhabitants. They are distinguished by the form, the number of capsules, the defeat of one or both organs, the type of fluid inside. They are differently attached to the kidneys, have their own symptoms.

Doctors can not say exactly why they appear, how to warn them. Urologists say that the education in the kidneys can be treated, sometimes they dissolve themselves. Many diseases under ICD 10 do not require surgery and cleaning. But if the cavity is large, oncology begins, surgery is possible.

Causes and mechanism of development

Why the capsule grows from connective tissue, remains to be clarified to the end. It is believed that the cells that line the kidney begin to divide intensively for the following reasons:

  • sand, stones in the urinary tract;
  • jade;
  • chronic or past illnesses;
  • poisoning the body with long-term medication;
  • traumatic lesions, hemorrhages in other tissues due to them;
  • hypothermia body;
  • heredity: cysts are formed in several family members;
  • age-related changes in the body: cysts are more often formed in elderly patients.

The capsule develops when tissue from the renal tubules begins to grow rapidly. They cease to be associated with other tissues, filled with fluid, increase.

Symptoms of cyst of the left or right kidney

A cyst may not show itself for a long time, symptoms are absent in 70% of cases. Detect a tumor during an ultrasound. Treat the patient start late. When the formation increases, it squeezes other organs, such symptoms appear:

  • swelling felt through the abdomen;
  • kidney enlargement;
  • lower back or side pain;
  • signs of pyelonephritis, renal colic;
  • renal failure: thirst, lethargy, drowsiness during the day, sleeplessness at night, lethargy, swelling of the face;
  • increases lower pressure - renal hypertension;
  • urination difficult, urine poorly excreted;
  • blood circulation is disturbed;
  • blood in the urine (hematuria);
  • frequent urinary tract infections;
  • hemorrhage in the kidney;
  • protein is present in the fluid secreted by the kidneys

Diagnostics

Diagnosis is based on clinical manifestations and complaints. The doctor examines the patient, palpating the abdominal cavity, lower back. If, when palpating, the kidneys are enlarged, with a bumpy surface, a cyst is suspected. For her further research prescribed

Analyzes:

  • urine: detect protein, blood;
  • blood: general analysis - shows anemia (low hemoglobin), increased leukocytes and ESR;
  • "biochemistry" (creatinine increases);

Instrumental methods:

  1. Ultrasound - the main diagnosis for kidney cyst. An ultrasound scan shows where it is located, the number, size, structure, whether other organs are affected.
  2. CT (computed tomography) - X-rays are examined in layers.
  3. MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging): Electromagnetic waves produce a three-dimensional image of an organ. Signals are processed, take pictures.
  4. Excretory urography - x-ray of the urinary tract.

These studies will help to accurately diagnose.

What to do to cyst resolved?

Can a kidney cyst dissolve? Yes, such cases are found in the practice of doctors. It is described how she disappeared in adolescents during puberty. Women also got rid of her after giving birth or during hormone therapy.

Will lead to the desired result and "drive" the cyst:

  1. Special exercises. We are not talking about sports, but swimming, slow running, walking, practicing yoga will increase blood circulation in the kidney, improve its oxygen supply, and reduce pain and cramps.
  2. Nutrition (about him below).
  3. Folk recipes (they are dedicated to a separate section).
These measures in combination can also lead to the fact that the neoplasm of the kidney will disappear. But without willpower, systematic work on the result is not worth counting on.

Treatment of cysts

If the kidney cyst is not more than 5 cm, it does not interfere with blood circulation and urine output - it is monitored and controlled for. When symptoms appear, treatment is required.

Traditional

A kidney cyst is treated by a nephrologist. He diagnoses, determines therapy. Prescribes conservative (medication) or surgical treatment.

Drug therapy is carried out in most cases. The doctor controls the size of education, conducts symptomatic treatment: prescribes pills or injections to eliminate inflammation, relieve pain, improve urine flow, and urinary system function. The treatment lasts a month.

Popular drugs are the immunoprotector ASD fraction 2, painkillers Ibuprofen, Diclofenac, antiseptics Metatsiklin, Levorin.

Remove the cyst, if it increases, crushes the organs, hurts and bleeds, suspect cancer or rupture of the cyst.

Radical therapy includes:

  1. Laparoscopy is a kidney surgery through small holes. It is carried out if the cyst causes concern. The intervention lasts 2 hours. On the 3rd day the patient is discharged.
  2. Puncture is an alternative treatment. The contents of the cyst are siphoned off, and the composition is introduced inward to solder its walls. The procedure is less traumatic, but it will not completely remove the cyst.

Folk remedies

Renal cyst does not affect the quality of life of the patient. If the operation is not shown, then popular recipes will help. They will recommend a naturopath. They act slowly but effectively. Vegetable fees apply, if not disturbed urination.

In nature, there are plants that cure kidney cysts. Burdock - a unique plant that successfully copes with them. In medicine, all parts are used.

The most effective is the juice of its leaves. They are washed, crushed and squeezed. The resulting liquid quickly sours, so prepare half a cup for 3 days. Treated 30 days: the first two - 1 tsp. in the morning and in the evening before meals, the third and fourth - 3 times, further - 1 tbsp. l 3 times a day. Juice can be replaced with gruel from the plant.

Some add to the burdock powder from the dry foliage of aspen. The regimen is the same. In the juice put the powder on the tip of a knife. Even polycystic is afraid of this remedy.

From the roots of the plant is preparing a decoction. 10 g of dry root brew in 1 tbsp. water and 20 min. kept on low heat. Defend half an hour and filter. Drink 3 times a day. White side leaves applied to the lower back, hold up to 10 hours

Golden mustache - an effective plant acting on the cyst. 50 of his joints pour 0.5 liters of vodka. Insist 10 days. in a dark place, filter, take before meals. On the first day, 10 drops drip in 30 ml of water. Daily add one. Reaching up to 25, reduced to 10.

Aspen bark. Dry, grind it in a blender. The resulting powder to take 0.5 tsp. half a month before meals, drinking water.

Elecample treats various cysts. In 3 liters of water dilute 1 tbsp. l yeast and 2 tbsp. l Sahara. Add 30 g of plant roots. The composition is removed for two days. Drink 0.5 st. 3 times a day.

Teas, treating cysts, brew on the basis of lingonberry leaves, bear ears, rosehip, wild rosemary.

In the evening, throw in a thermos 2 tbsp. l herbs, pour 1 liter of boiling water. Take before meals without dosing all day. Plants for tea is better to alternate.

White mushroom - dry mushroom caps crumble into a jar, pour with vodka, let stand for 2 weeks, strain. Drink, diluting 2 tsp. in 50 g of water twice a day.

60 g of the roots of wild rose pour 1 liter of boiling water for an hour put on a slow fire. The broth is kept warm for 3 hours, filtered. Drink 3 p. a glass daily.

Traditional methods are effective, but if doctors insist on the operation, they should follow their recommendations, otherwise you can lose a kidney.

Proper diet

If a kidney cyst is detected, then a diet is prescribed to relieve the urinary system. The diet depends on the patient’s body, but the general recommendations are:

  1. Exclude soda, salty, fried, spicy dishes, smoked meats.
  2. Reduce the amount of protein consumed. Eat less legumes, sour cream, cream, fatty meat and mushroom dishes.
  3. Eat cottage cheese, dairy products with lipotropami, which prevent fatty infiltration of the liver.
  4. Per day use up to 5 grams of salt. Food only add salt. For seasoning use cumin, cinnamon, dill.
  5. Nutrition fractional, in small portions 5 times.
  6. Eggs are eaten 2 times a week.
  7. With hard water, it should be boiled and defended for 2 days.
  8. Medical fasting will also help to cure the renal cyst. There were cases when patients, after 5 days of abstinence from food under the supervision of a doctor, disposed of it.
  9. Many different vegetables and fruits are included in the menu.
  10. Do not forget about cereals (rice, buckwheat, wheat).
  11. Will benefit green tea with milk.

Prediction and prevention of the disease

Be careful when taking pills - many harm the kidneys and do not affect the cyst. Therefore, doctors recommend treating it with popular recipes, they are harmless.

Patients should drink up to 2 liters of plain water daily. Reduce salt intake, it harms the kidneys. Light exercise, exercise complexes will benefit. But without fanaticism! When heavy loads can cause bleeding.

A person with a capsule in the kidney should lead a healthy and active lifestyle. Do not overwork, enough rest, move more. Alcoholic beverages and smoking are prohibited. Warmly dressed and put on the weather, avoid hypothermia.

A renal cyst is a frequent disease, it is treated by urologists. If the formation does not disturb and does not increase, it is not touched (but checked regularly!) The cyst can resolve, but this happens infrequently.
