“…In the diabetic population, the relationship between hypertension and SRCs was not significant. The reason may be the difference in the study population, sample size, stage of hypertension, and techniques for detecting renal cysts (Lee et al, 2013;Choi, 2016;Mensel et al, 2018). However, the potential explanations for the difference must be clarified by conducting further research.…”

Introduction: Simple renal cysts (SRCs) are the most common acquired cystic kidney disease, but the relationship between SRCs and renal function has not been clarified in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).Methods: A retrospective study was conducted to analyze the clinical features of renal cysts and ultrasound data of the kidney in 4,304 patients with T2DM.Results: The prevalence of SRCs in patients with T2DM was 21.1%. Compared to patients with no SRCs, patients with SRCs had worse renal function (estimated glomerular filtration rate: 108.65 ± 40.93 vs. 92.38 ± 42.1 ml/min/1.73 m2, p < 0.05). After adjusting the confounders, SRC was related to estimated glomerular filtration rate in patients with T2DM [odds ratio = 1.49, 95% confidence interval (1.24, 1.79), p < 0.01]. Age, gout, proteinuria, cerebrovascular disease (CVD), and increased serum phosphorus levels were associated with SRCs in patients with T2DM.Conclusion: SRCs are associated with worse renal function in patients with T2DM. More attention should be paid to gout, proteinuria, CVD, serum phosphorus levels, and renal function in T2DM patients with SRCs.

“…Renal cysts are prevalent in general population, with a prevalence between 5.2% and 41%, according to age group and imaging modalities, with CT or magnetic resonance imaging being the most sensitive [10]. Older age, male sex, hypertension, and smoking history, all increase the likelihood for developing renal cysts [11]. Therefore, whether the presence of renal cysts, in particular, is an incidental finding, or indeed a true…”

Birt-Hogg-Dubé (BHD) syndrome is a rare autosomal-dominant disorder, affecting multiple organs, mostly the skin, lungs, and kidneys. The prevalence of BHD syndrome is difficult to define given the rarity of the disease. Patients present most often with primary spontaneous pneumothorax. Renal tumors are a characteristic finding in BHD, and are often bilateral and multifocal and of the chromophobe and oncocytoma variant. Very scarce reports have highlighted the presence of simple renal cysts, as the only phenotypical renal manifestation, in BHD patients. Herein, we highlight two novel cases of bilateral multiple renal and pelvic cysts, in two females with genetically proven BHD syndrome, doubting a potential association with BHD syndrome.

“…Rahbari-Oskoui et al [23] also described acquired renal cysts as "multiple small bilateral cysts". On the other hand, Mensel et al reported 15mm as the size in male patients in the general population, and 1.8 as the average number of renal cysts [24].  Types of cysts Per renal ultrasound revealed in patients on dialysis that, simple cysts were predominantly represented (58.43%) compared to atypical cysts (41.57%).…”

Whether on dialysis or not, native kidneys in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients undergo morphological and structural changes. Objective: To study native kidney morphometric and structural aspects in CKD patients on dialysis and non-dialysis patients. Methods: It was a descriptive, analytical, and cross-sectional study conducted from May to December 2018. The study enrolled CKD patients on dialysis or not followed at CNHU-HKM in Cotonou. Renal ultrasound was performed to locate cysts and uroscanner completed in the presence of atypical cysts. Through logistic regression, associated factors were determined. Results: The sample size was 240 patients, of which 151 (62.9%) were receiving dialysis and 89 (37.1%) non-dialysis patients. Male subjects were predominant (sex ratio = 1.5). The average size of the right kidney, expressed in mm in patients on dialysis was: pole-to-pole length = 78.56; width = 42.06; cortical thickness = 11.80; and the left kidney: pole-to-pole length = 79.76; width = 41.53; cortical thickness = 12.6. For nondialysis patients, the following size was recorded for the right kidney: pole-to-pole length = 92.35; width = 47.61; cortical thickness = 15.64; and left kidney: length = 92.13; width = 47.82; cortical thickness = 15.43. Predictive factors for the occurrence of acquired renal cysts were: old age (p = 0.0001), dialysis (p < 0.001) and diabetic nephropathy (p = 0.0014). Conclusion: CKD patients on dialysis have small kidneys and are more likely to develop acquired renal cysts. There is a need to carry out an annual ultrasound screening for native kidneys in patients receiving dialysis.

Prevalence of renal cysts and association with risk factors in a general population: an MRI-based study

Abstract: The prevalence, number, and mean size of renal cysts are higher in men compared to women and are associated with age. In addition, renal cyst prevalence is higher in hypertensive and smoking subjects.
