is it normal for a cyst to grow in size on the kidney
In most cases, simple kidney cysts do not cause symptoms and usually do not require treatment. However, in some cases simple kidney cysts can grow large enough and cause a dull pain in a person's back, side or upper abdomen. These cysts can also get infected, causing pain, fever and tenderness. They can burst, also causing pain. Simple kidney cysts rarely harm kidneys or impair their ability to function.
