Small indeterminate kidney lesion - Very Nervous

Posted by am1974 @am1974, Nov 14, 2023

Hello All: I am new here. Just had Abdominal CT Sscan due to right side cramp/discomfort and it found a 11mm indeterminate lesion on right kidney. I am in the process of getting an MRI as recommended by the reading radiologist. I am very nervous and just wanted to know your thoughts or any helpful guidance or insight. Thank you so much in advance.

So I did get my results from my mri scan but they are different then what the ct showed it doesn’t make sense. So there for which test would be correct. One says the masses are in the right kidney while the other says they are in both. One says mass one says cysts. I just don’t want them to completely ignore me either. Clearly it’s something going on. I just know that when I go for my appointment they are just going to ignore am. Say something ignorant like last time.

@abbigail89 sometimes CT scans see fluid filled masses better. If they are cysts for sure then look for a nephrologist who specializes in kidney internal medicine. Ask them for a referral.
