Because simple kidney cysts don't normally have any signs or symptoms, people only realize the problem when the cyst grows large enough to cause the symptoms to appear. A person with a simple kidney cyst that has grown may start feeling a dull pain in the back or side, moving into the abdomen. The pain might be accompanied by a fever.
