Recently it was diagnosed that I have a grade 1 renal parenchymal change in my Right kidney. I wanted to know what does it mean, risks associated with it, treatment and habits to be changed.� Important points to be noted: - I am SAMRAT, 21 years old from Telangana state of India. - When I was in 16 I was diagnosed having stones in my Right kidney, but after that I was treated with ayurvedic medicines and within short time it got cured. - Later it was diagnosed that I have� a cyst of 12x12 mm in right kidney, as my physician suggested I used to take good amount of water for healthy kidney and not to consume chicken also. �- Later it got reduced to 8x8 mm. Then I started neglecting it recently when I got my abdomen scanned it increased to 20x20 'm - The impression in the report is as follows: Grade - 1 renal parenchymal changes found in right kidney with a simple cortical cyst of 20x20 mm.
