The hospital operates dedicated centers for urology and nephrology to provide targeted care for kidney conditions.
Diagnostics for kidney cysts
Specialists at the hospital use ultrasound imaging to identify the size and location of the cyst. This imaging helps distinguish simple cysts from those requiring active intervention. Patients receive a clear roadmap for care through specialized consultations. Available diagnostic services include:
- Consultation with a urologist. An initial evaluation to discuss symptoms and medical history, costing around $140–$160.
- Consultation with creation of treatment plan. A focused session to outline surgical or monitoring steps, typically running $150.
- Kidney ultrasound. High-frequency sound waves create images of the kidneys to evaluate the cyst structure.
- Nephrologist consultation. Expert review of kidney function and health.
- Ultrasound of urinary system. A scan covering the kidneys, bladder, and prostate.
Minimally invasive treatment options
The clinic uses percutaneous techniques to treat symptomatic cysts without the need for large incisions. This approach helps patients recover faster and reduces the risk of complications. The primary surgical method available is:
- Percutaneous kidney cyst puncture. The doctor inserts a thin needle through the skin into the cyst under ultrasound guidance. The fluid is drained to relieve pressure.
- Sclerotherapy. During the puncture, the specialist may inject a chemical solution into the empty cyst. This helps the walls of the cyst stick together to prevent fluid from returning.
