Teach you to know the kidney cancer triad

The "renal cancer triad" refers to hematuria, low back pain, and abdominal mass, which are the three most typical manifestations of kidney cancer patients. When the renal cancer triad appears at the same time, it often indicates that the disease has entered the late stage. Currently, most kidney cancer patients only have one or two symptoms of the "triad".

1. Hematuria: Hematuria occurs in 40% of renal cancer patients. It can be macroscopic hematuria or microscopic hematuria. When blood clots are formed, renal colic, urination pain, dysuria, and even urinary retention may occur.

2. Low back pain: The incidence of low back pain in patients with renal cancer is about 20%-40%, mainly manifested as persistent dull pain, which is mostly caused by the increase in tension of the renal capsule or invasion of surrounding tissues after the tumor grows.

3. Abdominal mass: Abdominal mass can sometimes be the only symptom of kidney cancer patients. About 10% to 40% of patients can feel abdominal mass.

Because the kidney is located deep behind the peritoneum, it cannot be felt during abdominal palpation. A mass can only be felt when the tumor is large or located at the lower pole of the kidney. If a mass is felt during palpation, the disease has generally developed to the late stage.

The above is an introduction to the "renal cancer triad". Kidney cancer seriously affects the patient's physical and mental health.
