What are the routine nursing care for kidney cancer

Kidney cancer care routine, kidney cancer surgery should be a must for kidney cancer patients, the effect after surgery and postoperative care are inseparable. Postoperative care is also particularly important and plays a decisive role in the patient's recovery and recovery. You should always observe your postoperative symptoms and have regular physical examinations and reexaminations. Below I will introduce the common sense of postoperative care to my patients.

1. Postoperative review:

Generally, after kidney cancer surgery, patients should be aware that they need to return to the hospital for a follow-up examination after 3 months, and should be cautious when using contrast agents. Examination items include blood tests for renal function, chest X-rays, B-ultrasound or CT scans, etc. The purpose of blood tests is mainly to assess whether the residual renal function after kidney cancer surgery can meet the needs of the body. If the remaining renal function is severely damaged, dialysis treatment or kidney transplantation should be performed. Imaging examinations such as chest X-rays, B-ultrasound and CT are mainly used to determine whether the tumor has metastasized to the lungs or recurred. Note that the postoperative follow-up plan and examination items vary depending on the condition of the disease, and the specific details need to be consulted with the attending physician before discharge.

2. Precautions for the use of antibiotics after surgery:

If infection occurs after renal cancer surgery and antibiotics are needed, it is advisable to choose drugs with low nephrotoxicity and use them after bacterial culture and drug sensitivity test. If there is renal insufficiency, the dosage and administration time should be determined by referring to the creatinine clearance rate. It is also important to pay attention to the treatment of complications such as hypertension and diabetes after surgery.

3. Notes to patients’ families:

There are cases of recurrence of renal cancer after surgery, often with bone metastasis and lung metastasis, but patients are easily ignored due to the lack of specific symptoms and cannot take timely treatment measures. Therefore, for patients after renal cancer surgery, more attention should be paid to whether there are non-specific symptoms such as weight loss, anemia, pain, cough, etc. Urinalysis, renal function and chest X-ray should also be checked regularly.

4. Diet after kidney cancer surgery:

The diet should be mainly light and easily digestible food. Pay attention to the combination of coarse grains and fine grains, and have a balanced diet. Avoid spicy and irritating foods such as seafood, beef, mutton, five-spice powder, coffee, coriander, chili, tobacco and alcohol. At the same time, maintain a good and positive attitude, and do appropriate exercise according to the recovery of the body. On the basis of strengthening the physical fitness, improve your own immunity.

5. Chinese medicine treatment after renal cancer surgery:

Traditional Chinese medicine is a very important postoperative adjuvant treatment. Traditional Chinese medicine is effective in preventing recurrence and metastasis of renal cancer after surgery, and it does not burden the human body, because pure Chinese medicine preparations are completely safe and have no toxic side effects. Therefore, the patient's overall condition has a certain impact on the changes in the disease, especially in patients with renal cancer. Therefore, the surgical treatment of renal cancer is also inseparable from the adjuvant treatment of traditional Chinese medicine. The preoperative application of traditional Chinese medicine can improve the body's condition, enhance physical strength, and regulate liver and kidney dysfunction caused by other diseases.

The above is a detailed explanation of the common sense of five aspects: postoperative review, precautions for postoperative use of antibiotics, precautions for postoperative use of antibiotics, diet after kidney cancer surgery, and postoperative Chinese medicine treatment. I hope that through the explanation, patients can have a clear mind, recover health as soon as possible, thoroughly understand kidney cancer, and become a healthy person.
