I just found out today that I have subcentimeter hypodensity in the inferior pole of my right kidney. I have been having severe pain in that kidney area for a month now. I am wondering what are the treatments for this and if I should be seen right away. Thank you.. Carol Bradshaw
HelloThanks for writing to Chat Doctor Nature of hypo dense lesion in kidney should be first confirmed before deciding any treatment plan. Firstly investigations like routine hologram, Urine RE/ME, RBS,RFT should be done. You didn't mentioned your age. It may be due to many reasons. It may be due to infection, cyst, tumor etc. Age also plays an important role. Contrast CT Scan of abdomen should be done for confirming nature of pathology. You should consult nephrologist so that further investigation and treatment can be planned. Treatment depends upon clinical findings and investigation reports. Get well soon. Take Care Chat Doctor.
