What are the postoperative examination items for kidney cancer

Patients with kidney cancer often experience painful intermittent episodes of gross hematuria. The interval shortens as the disease progresses. If bleeding occurs due to kidney cancer, it may be accompanied by renal colic, which is mostly caused by blood clots passing through the ureter, and is mostly cord-like blood. Lumbar pain in patients with kidney cancer: generally dull pain, confined to the waist, and persistent severe pain occurs when the tumor invades the nerves or lumbar spine. So what are the examination items after kidney cancer surgery?

1. Lymph node examination and laboratory tests (such as carcinoembryonic antigen, glycogen 125) can help check the condition and recovery status.
2. Patients should pay attention to whether they experience any abnormal phenomena such as weight loss, anemia, pain, cough, etc. Once any abnormal phenomena are found, they should return to the hospital for examination immediately to avoid recurrence.
3. For reexamination after kidney cancer surgery, color Doppler ultrasound can help you understand whether the tumor has recurred and whether the liver has metastasized. It is recommended to also perform a chest X-ray to check for lung metastasis. It is also possible to combine lymph node and laboratory tests (such as carcinoembryonic antigen, glycogen 125) to understand the progression of the disease.
