We herein describe the difficulties in diagnosing and in treating this group, which included patients with simple single renal cysts, multiple cysts of 1 or both kidneys and polycystic renal disease. Renal calculi may be caused by or perpetuated by renal cystic disease. After spontaneous passage or surgical removal renal calculi may recur as long as renal cysts continue to cause urinary stasis owing to obstruction and distortion of the renal calices. Superimposed renal infection may cause further difficulties in diagnosis and treatment. The timely removal of calculi and the relief of obstruction caused by the cysts and stones are emphasized. We further recommend the judicious use of antibiotics, correction of electrolyte disturbances and prolonged followup in an attempt to prevent future calculous disease. © 1981 by The American Urological Association Education and Research, Inc.FiguresReferencesRelatedDetailsCited ByCass A (2018) Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy for Renal Stones With Renal Cysts PresentJournal of Urology, VOL. 153, NO. 3, (599-601), Online publication date: 1-Mar-1995.
