Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I want to reassure you that this finding is not significant and most likely not related to your abdominal pain. Further assessment including detailed history and proper examination should be done to diagnose the possible reason.

Patient's Query

Prominent column of Bertin noted, what does it mean? Do I need some medicine for that?

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

It is a structure in the kidney which is normally present. Being prominent is not serious at all and you do not need treatment for it. It is just mentioned because sometimes it is mistaken as a renal mass. So the radiologist should mention it not to be mistaken by other doctors.
