The presence of a renal cyst may induce an increase in urinary bacteria, but is not the underlying cause of its occurrence.
The presence of urinary bacteremia is often indicative of a urinary tract infection. Generally speaking, the cause of urinary tract infection is mainly bacterial infection, and the most common is Escherichia coli and other gram-negative bacilli; in addition to bacteria, fungi, adenoviruses, tuberculosis mycobacteria and other pathogens can also cause disease.
There are many triggering factors for urinary tract infection, such as anatomical abnormalities in the urinary and reproductive systems, stones, prostate hyperplasia, urethral stenosis, urinary tract tumors, renal cysts, especially polycystic kidneys, etc., all of which can lead to the retention and reproduction of pathogenic bacteria and cause infections.
Therefore, it is recommended that patients with renal cysts should consult a doctor immediately when they find an increase in urinary bacteria, and receive standardized diagnosis and treatment after clarifying the cause of the disease.
