Our life is threatened seriously when kidneys fail to function properly. Kidney cyst is a problem regarding kidney which may cause progressive loss of kidney function. Well, can we die from a kidney cyst?

We can not live any more without healthy kidney, but in many cases, kidney cyst is very small, usually smaller than 3cm. Small kidney cyst is harmless, so at that time, medical treatment is not needed and also life is not threatened at all.

However, if the kidney cyst enlarges over time or it is in a very large size, it will oppress surrounding kidney tissues and thus impair kidney function. Therefore, medical treatment is usually needed to deal with large cysts in kidney, as this will help to prevent kidney damages and make sure life span is not shorted. Surgery and Chinese medicine are the leading two treatment methods for cyst in kidney. Surgery can cut cyst off kidney directly, but it is risky and painful. Chinese medicine is safe and painless, but compared with surgery, it works slowly. (You can choose the proper treatment method according to your own condition)

In medicine, kidney cyst can be bilateral or unilateral, which means cyst may appear in one kidney or two kidneys. For people with bilateral kidney cyst, they run higher risk for kidney damage, so they need to take treatment as soon as possible. If kidney function is unfortunately impaired, apart from treating cysts in kidney, they also need to repair kidney damages, so as to improve kidney function. Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy is a herbal treatment that is suggested for kidney cyst patients when there are kidney damages.

In a word, we will not die from a kidney cyst if the cyst is very small, but if we do not manage it well, it is possible for us to suffer from kidney damages and even kidney failure.
