what does it mean when you have a kidney ultrasound and it shows you have a small cyst?
i had one done yesterday, i saw it on a patient portal, just wondered if they'll do a biopsy or what they'll do about it.

Hi sweet Pearl....If you have a "small" simple cyst on your kidney, it is most likely harmless and requires nothing be done at all other than maybe a follow-up ultrasound at some point in time just to see if it increases to any significant size.
(I'm basing this answer on the assumption that you do not have a history of kidney cysts, nor any family members who have had such a history as well.)
You take care..hope that helps a little..I am not a doctor....I'm just giving advice from experience of spending so many years in healthcare and the medical imaging field..
Hugs to you, and the best to you....🤗
