I have a new Primary Care Provider who is particularly "test happy" and have recently had a liver ultrasound because she thought my liver was too big. Well, I knew before that I had liver cysts, but it seems this time the cysts are bigger than ever, and the largest appear to have blood in them. The ultrasound report says "innumerable heterogeneous hepatic cysts". I have no pain from these cysts, only occassional back ache in the area of my left kidney only (which my neph believes is because the cysts are so large they are putting pressure on structures internally). Should I be at all concerned? I didn't think I needed the ultrasound in the first place, because I already knew I had lots of cysts. I've been diagnosed with PKD for about 6 years, I'm 49, and my kidney function is normal. Also, she is concerned about leakage in two heart valves, the mitral and the tricuspid. Should I be concerned? Again, no symptoms, and the ECHO indicated that my heart function was within normal limits.
