He needs to have the cyst removed. I do not think a Nephrologist can do the surgury. What kind of a doctor can do Kidney surgury? A general surgeon, or ??

      A Nephrologist is best, but a GI doc is not bad.

      A nephrologist is a medical doctor who specializes in renal (kidney) health. Most specialists require a referral from a GP (family doctor).

      The internist or family practice physician that your friend sees hope your friend finds relief soon.
