Renal cyst is a condition in which part of the kidney structure changes, creating a fluid-filled cavity inside and an outer envelope. Over time, kidney cysts get bigger and bigger and can press on other parts of the kidney, causing many dangerous complications such as cyst rupture, infection or cancer. Currently, the technique of aspiration of renal cysts and fibrosis of the cyst wall are necessary procedures to completely solve and avoid the risk of recurrence of renal cysts.
Usually, a simple kidney cyst with no clinical symptoms or no complications does not require treatment. However, if the kidney cyst has the following signs and symptoms, it is necessary to appoint aspiration and drug injection into the cyst:
Kidney cyst over 6cm in size needs intervention to prevent complications such as: Bleeding, rupture , the mass effect compresses the renal parenchyma. Small kidney cysts but complicated with cyst infection, bleeding in the cyst causes pain but medical treatment does not help, recurs many times. The renal cyst does not communicate with the renal calyx. In case, the patient has a blood clotting disorder, an infection in the abdominal wall at the puncture site, the kidney cyst connects to the renal pelvis or is located in a dangerous position when performing the procedure, the technique cannot be performed. renal cyst aspiration and drug injection.

Before aspiration and injecting drugs into the kidney cyst, the doctor will explain the effects and complications of the procedure to the patient or the patient's family. The procedure for aspiration and drug injection into the kidney cyst is done as follows:
Step 1: Perform blood coagulation tests and basic tests such as: Urological ultrasound, UIV or computed tomography to Exclude the case of renal cyst communicating with the renal calyx. Step 2: Puncture the renal cyst under the guidance of computed tomography or ultrasound with luminosity. This method gives direct control over the operation of the trick. Step 3: Suction, drain the kidney cyst through the skin so that all the fluid in the cyst is drained. After complete collapse of the renal cyst, it is re-pumped into the cyst, causing fibrosis of the epithelial layer with a volume of 30-50% of the withdrawn fluid. Step 4: End the procedure and save the catheter and fibrous material in the cyst. Step 5: Check all sclerotherapy and drainage catheters after 16-24 hours. Ask the patient to have an ultrasound every 1, 3, 6, 12 months. The total time to perform the procedure of aspiration and drug injection into the kidney cyst is about 1-2 hours, this will depend on the skill of the doctor and the equipment at the medical facility you choose.

Gross hematuria: If the patient has a gross hematuria, treat by adding sodium chloride 9%, monitor pulse, blood pressure and general condition. Hematuria causing hypotension: Transfuse blood to the patient and inject tranexamic acid 250mg x 2-4 tubes intravenously. Monitor for bleeding complications, urinary leakage, recurrent cysts, or anaphylaxis with fiber injection. In summary, aspiration and drug injection into the renal cyst is a procedure that should be performed to completely resolve and avoid the risk of recurrence of the renal cyst.
