How serious is the harm of kidney cancer to the human body? What are the harms of kidney cancer to the human body? Many people think that if a disease like kidney cancer occurs, the patient's body will definitely suffer some harm. So what is the matter with a disease like kidney cancer? If you pay attention to kidney cancer, you still need to pay attention to some preventive measures and understand the harm of kidney cancer.

Kidney cancer, like other cancers, is a malignant tumor disease, and its harmfulness can be imagined. Every patient with kidney cancer hopes to have some effective treatment to help them fight the disease, which has become one of the main topics of clinical research.

The main risks of kidney cancer are:

1. Hematuria: Normal people will not have hematuria, but it is the main symptom of kidney cancer patients. About 40% of kidney cancer patients have hematuria, which can be macroscopic hematuria or microscopic hematuria. When there is a large amount of hematuria with blood clots, renal colic, urination pain, dysuria, and even urinary retention may occur.

2. Lump: Kidney cancer is a malignant tumor, and because it is close to the waist, the lump can be clearly felt. The kidney is located deep behind the peritoneum and cannot be felt during abdominal palpation. The lump can only be felt when the tumor is large or located at the lower pole of the kidney. About 10% to 40% of patients can feel an abdominal lump, which can sometimes be the only symptom.

3. In addition to hematuria and lumps, the harm of kidney cancer also includes pain. Severe pain is the biggest hidden danger for kidney cancer patients. Low back pain occurs when the tension of the renal capsule increases or invades surrounding tissues after the tumor grows, and it manifests as persistent dull pain. Tumor bleeding causing subcapsular hematoma may also cause dull pain or hidden pain. Tumor invasion of adjacent tissues and organs such as the psoas major muscle or nerves can cause persistent and severe low back pain. The incidence of pain is 20 to 40 percent. If there are related symptoms, you should seek medical attention in time to avoid delaying the disease.

The above is an introduction to the harmfulness of kidney cancer. Everyone knows that if a person gets kidney cancer and is not treated in time, it will cause great harm to the patient's body. Therefore, if you pay attention to kidney cancer, you must prevent harmful problems. For example, some of the diseases mentioned above may be caused by kidney cancer, so they must be prevented.
