Standard workup includes Bosniak classification with contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). However, these tests are costly and not without risks. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Therefore, ultrasound is the very first diagnostic tool and will guide further diagnostic workup with additional imaging studies or genetic testing. [link.springer.com]

Unilateral renal cystic disease with an ipsilateral non-functional kidney and an atretic pelvicalyceal system is a very rare condition that needs to be distinguished from multicystic dysplastic kidney in order to guide management and set prognosis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Prognosis is highly unpredictable due to an inability to quantify residual functional parenchyma. Treatment is surgical correction of any associated GU abnormalities and, if renal insufficiency or renal failure is present, renal replacement therapy . [msdmanuals.com]
