[|Human|] I m 48 years old i have kidney cortical scarring in both the kidneys. my left kidney is smaller than the right and also has a subcortical cyst measuring 20mm on the lower pole of left kidney. Protien is detected in the urine.is there anything to worry for the cyst?what can be done to reduce scarring?what diet to follow?
[|AI|]  HelloThanks for query. You have scarring of the cortex of both the kidneys. This is due to chronic parenchymal kidney disease and not due to presence of subcortical cyst. These cysts are usually from birth and do not require any treatment. The chronic kidney parenchymal disease is progressive in nature and can not be reversed, Please consult qualified Nephrologist for evaluation as regards kidney function and further long term management to keep it under control.
