Key elements of kidney cancer care

What kind of nursing measures should we give to patients with renal tumors? It is based on the disease of our patients. For patients with renal tumors, it is best to give active treatment at the beginning stage of the disease. What are the factors we evaluate for patients with renal tumors?

Specifically, we explain as follows:

【Nursing Assessment】

1. Urinary conditions and urine color.

2. Whether there are symptoms such as pain, fever, anemia, etc.

【Preoperative care】

1. Provide routine preoperative care according to the general nursing care of urology.

2. Observe the urine volume, urine color, and whether there are symptoms such as difficulty urinating and hematuria.

3. When performing partial nephrectomy, prepare 800-1000mL of blood before the operation.

4. If you feel pain, take analgesics as directed by your doctor.

【Postoperative Care】

1. Provide routine postoperative care according to the general nursing care for urological diseases.

2. After lying flat for 6 hours, change to a semi-recumbent position. Patients who have undergone renal parenchymal incision or partial nephrectomy should stay in bed for one week.

3. Record 24-hour urine volume and monitor renal function.

【Health Education】

1. Pay attention to the changes in urine volume over 24 hours. If the urine volume decreases, go to the hospital for treatment in time.

2. Improve nutrition: A high-calorie, high-protein and high-vitamin diet.

3. Receive immunization or other treatments under the guidance of a doctor.

4. Follow your doctor’s advice and have regular check-ups.

We have summarized so much about patients with kidney tumors above, but what patients with kidney tumors also need to pay attention to is health education, because our patients need to take good care of dietary factors after being discharged from the hospital, and patients with kidney disease must take good care of protein. Only in this way can we improve the quality of life of our kidney tumor patients.
