An ultra sound scan found that my liver is enlarged due to liver cysts - 3 large, my liver function is normal and my kidneys are clear, but I'm having awful indigestion and my appetite is poor because I feel sick all the time. Is there anyone else out there that has liver cysts without kidney cysts? Are the kidney cysts likely to come later?

      1.may turn cancerous, although they are assuring me that they're benign at the moment. 

      2. Is there an underlying problem that's caused them?

      Hi I'm glad your appointment is not too far away and the fact that they are being honest and telling your the cysts are none malignant is good news and in all honesty they don't normally become cancerous as far as I know, they will probably just keep an eye on them, the liver is the cleverest organ in the body after the brain
