A cyst occurs when a single tube expands, often to a very large size.
There are about a million units of filter and tube in each kidney. The kidney is made up of blood vessels, which carry blood to tiny filters. They can range in size from 5 centimetres (the size of a tennis ball) to something so small it can only be seen clearly under the microscope. In the kidney, cysts are round, have a very thin, clear wall and are usually filled with watery fluid.
