Is a renal hamartoma of 8mm very serious? Introduction to several serious cases of renal hamartoma

Renal hamartoma is a benign tumor. With the continuous development of medical technology, the detection rate of renal hamartoma has increased year by year. If the size of renal hamartoma is small and does not affect normal life, it can be left untreated. Generally speaking, renal hamartoma of 8mm is not serious. When renal hamartoma is larger than 4cm, the tumor is huge, invades lymph nodes or large veins, or there are signs of bleeding, it means that the renal hamartoma is serious.

Renal hamartomas are more common in middle-aged women. The specific cause is still unclear, and there are no obvious clinical symptoms, so they are often discovered accidentally during physical examinations or when treating other diseases. The size of a renal hamartoma is a major basis for judging whether the tumor is serious and whether surgery is needed. So is a renal hamartoma of 8mm serious? What are the several serious conditions of renal hamartoma?

1. A renal hamartoma of 8mm is not serious in normal circumstances. A renal hamartoma with a diameter of no more than 4cm can be treated conservatively, followed closely, and checked regularly for half a year or a year to see if the volume has increased significantly and if the growth rate is too fast. However, if the tumor grows in the middle area of ​​the kidney, it may compress the capillaries, and red blood cells may be detected in the urine routine test, indicating occult blood. At this time, close attention should be paid. If visible hematuria occurs, it means that the normal function of the kidney has been damaged, the situation is already very serious, and surgery is required.

2. When the tumor is larger than 4cm, especially when it is huge, it means the situation has become serious, because an oversized renal hamartoma may rupture, and once the tumor ruptures, it may cause heavy bleeding. If the heavy bleeding is not treated in time, it will lead to shock, which is life-threatening in severe cases. High blood pressure, emotional excitement, and exertion are all factors that induce rupture of blood vessels in the tumor.

3. A small number of renal hamartomas may involve local lymph nodes or invade adjacent organs or even large veins. This indicates that the tumor has begun to develop malignantly and the disease is very serious, requiring immediate treatment.

The above are some serious cases of renal hamartoma. When the above cases occur, surgical treatment is needed as soon as possible. Strictly follow the doctor's instructions for treatment. Surgical treatment should preserve kidney function as much as possible. At the same time, you should pay more attention to your daily life, don't stay up late, and have a good work and rest habit. Keep a stable mentality, pay attention to stress regulation, eat a low-fat diet, strengthen exercise, and speed up the metabolism of fat tissue in the body.
