Is it a good time for an ultrasound of the kidney? My blood work revealed


Posted by sl2010

On 8-09 I had a CT scan of the abdomen and pelvis.  On 3-10 I had a MRI of the thoracic spine.  The CT showed a 6 mm hypodensity on the posterior mid pole of the left kidney.  The MRI revealed a 1.7 cm well circumscribed lesion of the left kidney, most compatible with a simple renal cyst.  My mom has Mesangial Proliferative Glomerulonephritis, but her kidney ultrasound came back fine. She is from consanguineous Lebansese descent  and her aunt was a dialysis patient.
