Renal cyst is a relatively common kidney disease, and women are a high-risk group for this disease. If women suffer from this disease, it often causes great pain to women, so once they have this disease, they need to go to the hospital for treatment immediately. This requires us to understand some of the early symptoms of renal cysts in our daily lives. So what are the symptoms of renal cysts?

What are the symptoms of kidney cysts in women?

1. Impaired renal function. Due to the space occupation and compression of the cyst, the normal renal tissue is significantly reduced and the renal function progressively declines.

2. Hematuria. It may present as microscopic hematuria or gross hematuria. The attacks are cyclical. Low back pain often worsens during an attack and can be triggered or aggravated by strenuous exercise, trauma, or infection. The reason for bleeding is that there are many arteries under the cyst wall. Due to increased pressure or combined infection, the blood vessels in the cyst wall are over-stretched and ruptured and bleed.

3. Proteinuria. The amount is generally not much, and will not exceed 2g in 24 hours of urine. Renal cysts are unlikely to occur.

4. Abdominal mass. Sometimes it is the main reason for patients to seek medical treatment. 60% to 80% of patients can feel the enlarged kidney. Generally speaking, the larger the kidneys, the poorer their kidney function.

5. Hypertension. Solid cysts compress the kidneys, causing renal ischemia, increased renin secretion, and high blood pressure. When renal function is normal, more than 50% of patients have hypertension. When renal function is impaired, the incidence of hypertension is even higher.

6. Discomfort or pain in waist and abdomen. The reason is that the enlarged and expanded kidney increases the tension of the renal capsule, stretches the renal pedicle, or causes compression of adjacent organs. In addition, the kidneys become heavy due to the high water content of polycystic disease, and they fall and pull, which can also cause low back pain. The pain is characterized by dull pain, fixed on one or both sides, and radiating to the lower part and lower back. If there is intracystic bleeding or secondary infection, the pain will suddenly intensify. If the urinary tract is blocked by stones or blood clots after bleeding, renal colic may occur.
