title: [Diagnosis of renal cysts].
abstract: Evaluation and management of renal cysts Renal cystic diseases are a heterogeneous group of conditions including heritable, developmental, and acquired disorders. They are united by the presence of microscopic or giant fluid-filled cavities and affect both children and adults. The definitive diagnosis of many of the renal cystic diseases requires clinical, radiological, pathological, and genetic analysis. A precise diagnosis is essential for prognosis, treatment, and future genetic counselling.
