A cyst is a fluid filled structure. Cortical describes its location in the cortex, meaning the outer portion of the kidney. Mid pole is the middle portion of the kidney. There are different types of cysts. Simple cysts are harmless and may be ignored. Complex cysts range from harmless to cancerous. The features of the cyst will help the radiologist (the doctor interpreting the exam) determine whether the cyst is simple or complex. Depending on its features, complex cysts will need to be reimaged (with CT or ultrasound) or removed (with surgery).
If it is a simple cyst, probably not. There are characteristics that would make it concerning and that are often graded using something called the Bosniak scale.
Renal cortical cysts are fluid-filled sacs that form on the outer surface of the kidney. They are usually benign and do not typically cause any symptoms. Renal cortical cysts are common and are often discovered incidentally during imaging tests for other reasons.
Actually, drinking any beverage, including an alcoholic one, is good for the kidneys.

cortical cyst is very common. In most cases, they are not serious and even cause no symptoms if the cysts are less than 3-5 cm. When the cyst exceeds 5 cm in diameter, it is large and need to be followed by urltrasound, CT scan or MRI.
If you have a renal cortical cysts at about 3 cm, it will be up to a doctor to determine what will have to be done. It may all depend on whether or not the cyst grows or goes away on its own or not.
A renal cortical cyst is typically treated by a urologist or a nephrologist. Urologists specialize in the urinary tract and male reproductive system, while nephrologists focus on kidney function and diseases. Depending on the cyst's size, symptoms, and potential complications, management may involve monitoring, imaging, or surgical intervention. If needed, primary care physicians may also coordinate care and referrals to these specialists.
