Hello. If the cysts are not in big size, urologists will just watch them. If the kidney stone is not big, urologists will just watch it, and may suggest you to drink more water. As for rotation, it's important to find out the cause, however there might be no cause at all. Is it your first CT scan including kidney?

So you suspect that you may have polycystic kidney disease? Do your parents or siblings have this condition? If so, you need first to take an ultrasound of your abdomen to see how your kidney looks like.
