6 months ago a cyst on my right kidney ruptured. Its been a slow healing process. My hemoglobin is back to the low end of normal and I'm gradually gaining my strength back. I've known for a long time that I have numerous kidney cysts and my PCP finally called it Polycystic kidney disease. I'm wondering about others experiences with this.

@petr If you go to the head of this support group, and type in "polycystic kidney disease" [without the quote marks] in the search box, you will find several discussions about this condition. I urge you to peruse those conversations and get a feel for what your doctor is telling you. Has he referred you to a nephrologist, yet? Now is the time!

@petr I can only relate to the right kidney cyst I had many years ago. My urologist sent me to an interventional radiologist, whom I would recommend at this point for you. The diagnosis of the small mass was cancerous and had it removed as outpatient at my local hospital through cryoabation, which freezes the mass and eventually disappears. Absolutely no pain and went home in less than 2 hours after the procedure.
