What is kidney cancer?

Kidney cancer is a disease caused by malignant tumors in the human kidney. Malignant tumors usually occur in the renal tubular epithelial tissue. The final result of kidney cancer is renal dysfunction, and severe patients will completely lose their renal function.

The main symptoms of kidney cancer in the middle and late stages are hematuria and low back pain, and the early symptoms are not obvious. These two typical symptoms are also among the most common symptoms among all patients. A small number of patients learned that they had a mass in their abdomen during routine physical examinations, and then underwent specific examinations to confirm. When kidney cancer develops to the middle stage, some patients will develop paraneoplastic syndrome, which is mainly manifested by hypertension, anemia, weight loss, polycythemia, high fever, fever, abnormal liver function and other symptoms. Kidney cancer is divided into renal clear cell carcinoma, papillary renal cell carcinoma, renal chromophobe cell carcinoma, and Bellini collecting duct carcinoma according to different pathological types. Some pathological types of kidney cancer are highly malignant. Kidney cancer has no obvious symptoms in the early stages, so once discovered, it should be treated early.

The occurrence of kidney cancer is related to personal living habits, physical resistance and other factors. We should develop good living habits, avoid drinking or staying up late, strengthen physical exercise, control sex life, and have regular physical examinations.
