This is a prospective, cohort, randomized clinical trial examining the effect of simple renal cysts on renal function.
This study is planned to include patients from S.I. Spasokukotskiy Citi Clinical Hospital with simple renal accidentally discovered cyst. The aim of the study is to evaluate the impact of simple renal cysts on renal function and explore the correlation between cyst's size, parenchymal atrophy, and renal function. After receiving the results, the analysis of the data obtained is carried out. 1. The symmetry of the function of both kidneys is analyzed 2. The relationship between the presence of a simple kidney cyst and a decrease in its function in comparison with a healthy kidney is analyzed. 3. The relationship between the maximum size of a kidney cyst and a decrease in its function in comparison with a healthy kidney is analyzed. 4. The relationship between the volume of the atrophied kidney parenchyma and a decrease in its function as compared with a healthy kidney is analyzed. 5. Correspondence of GFR indices obtained by scintigraphy and by calculation using the Schwartz formula

CT scan with contrast is necessary to determine the position of renal cysts, their location, and size (determine volume of atrophic parenchyma will be calculated).
Nephroscintigraphy is necessary to determine the renal function
Renal function
Glomerular filtration rate (GFR, ml/min/1.73 m2) is a test used to check how well the kidneys are working. Specifically, it estimates how much blood passes through the glomeruli each minute. A GFR of 60 or higher is in the normal range. A GFR below 60 may mean kidney disease. A GFR of 15 or lower may mean kidney failure. The measurement of the glomerular filtration rate will be measured according to the results of the blood test and the results of nephroscintigraphy
Time frame: 1 month
Ratio of cyst size and volume of atrophic renal parenchyma
Computed tomography with contrast will be used to determine the position of renal cysts, their location, size and volume of atrophic parenchyma (cm2) are calculated
Time frame: 1 month
