Can minimally complex kidney cysts become polycystic kidney disease?

Back in May, I had bad stomach pain and nausea that did not go away. We were going to go out of town the next day. Around midnight I went to the emergency room of our local small hospital. A CT scan confirmed appendicitis and a 12 mm adrenal nodule, a 5mm pancreatic spot, and kidney cysts. I was transferred to a larger hospital for an appendectomy. In July I had a UtI with blood in my urine. I was referred to a urologist. He ordered an MRI and confirmed the cysts as minimally complex with a follow up MRI in one year.

@rshardi - I do know that many people have several cysts on their kidneys and that is not necessarily a diagnosis for PKD. In fact, many people might have cysts and not know it unless they have imaging for another issue and the cysts are noticed. You can still contact the urologist (probably the nurse) and ask some questions or, better yet, make an appointment and talk to the doctor directly. You could also see a nephrologist and get an opinion from that specialist. If you have questions I would not wait a year - too long to worry in my book.
