Importance of Diet 

A renal cyst is a cavity containing fluid within the kidney tissue. In many cases, simple cysts do not cause any harm; however, diet becomes significant when:

• cyst growth occurs
• a number of cysts are found
• kidney functions are impacted
• high blood pressure levels are detected

A kidney-appropriate diet facilitates:

• decreased stress on kidneys
• control of high blood pressure
• avoidance of electrolyte imbalance
• protection of kidneys for an extended period

Goals of the Diet 

• Promote proper kidney filtration
• Manage sodium and blood pressure control
• Avoid fluid retention
• Offer moderate protein intake
