What are the symptoms and signs of kidney cancer

What are the symptoms and signs of kidney cancer? Kidney cancer is a disease we are very familiar with. There are many ways to treat this disease, but many people miss the best time for treatment. In fact, to grasp the best time for treatment, patients must understand the symptoms of the disease so as not to delay the disease.

1. Hematuria: Hematuria is the main symptom. It is characterized by intermittent, large and painless hematuria, and can be free of hematuria or other symptoms for a long time (weeks to days). However, such intermittent time can be gradually shortened. In hematuria, blood and urine are evenly mixed, and sometimes it is whole hematuria. Long-term course of the disease and heavy hematuria may cause secondary anemia.

2. Pain: Mainly manifested as persistent pain in the kidney area, such as tumors invading the surrounding tissues of the kidney. The pain worsens and is more obvious during deep breathing or spinal movement. In severe hematuria, small blood clots flowing down from the ureter may cause renal colic. When the tumor is huge or urine retention occurs, there may be back pain, which may radiate forward and downward, causing induced pain in the abdomen.

3. Lump: Upper abdominal lumps are often difficult to detect in the early stages of cancer. They can only be palpated when they are large, and can be easily mistaken for normal kidneys when they are small. Renal pelvic cancer is less likely to have palpable lumps than kidney cancer. The lumps are usually hard, with uneven surfaces, and can become fixed in a short period of time.

4. Systemic symptoms: Some patients may have persistent fever and new varicocele. Sometimes unexplained anemia is the only manifestation of the disease.

Although there are many symptoms of kidney cancer, this disease is not terrible. We can see that many patients have prolonged their lifespan through active treatment. So if you suffer from this disease, don't worry too much. Active treatment is the most important thing.
