Hi, folks. My close friend has been found with kidney cysts at the ultrasound. However, I think there was calculosis found as well. I would like to know if there is a connection between these two entities. I would appreciate if someone could answer to my post. Thanks in advance. Bye!
Hi, there. There is a connection between kidney cysts and calculosis. Cysts are prone to infections. That means that this kind of kidneys has more tendency to infections than normal ones. Infection of the urinary tract is a great terrain for calculi forming. In these situations, calculi are more easily formed than in normal kidneys. I hope your close friend will be all right. You should consult with his nephrologist about the details. I hope everything will be all right. Good luck!
