Will renal hamartoma lead to poor appetite? A detailed discussion of several effects of renal hamartoma

Renal hamartoma is a benign tumor that often occurs in the kidneys. However, this disease does not only occur in the kidneys, but also in the brain, eyes, etc. The course of renal hamartoma progresses slowly, but when the disease develops to a certain stage, it will cause some effects on the body. The enlargement of the tumor will compress the digestive tract and cause the patient to lose appetite. Other effects include shock and other tissue diseases.

Renal hamartoma is a benign tumor that is composed of proliferating blood vessels, smooth muscle, and adipose tissue. The lesions occur not only in the kidneys, but also in other tissues of the body. In recent years, the incidence of renal hamartoma has gradually increased, and most of the clinical patients are middle-aged women. The development of the disease in patients with renal hamartoma will have some impact on the body, so will renal hamartoma cause the patient's appetite? Let's introduce it in detail below.

Renal hamartoma will affect the patient's appetite. There are no obvious symptoms in the early stage of renal hamartoma, but as the disease progresses, the tumor will continue to grow and compress the surrounding tissues. The digestive tract is a part that is easily compressed. Once compression occurs, the patient will experience digestive tract dysfunction, the food ingested by the human body cannot be digested and absorbed, and there will be pain in the stomach. Therefore, the patient's appetite will be affected. There are also the following effects of renal hamartoma on the patient's body.

1. Shock

Shock occurs in patients with extremely serious renal hamartomas. As the disease progresses, the tumor will grow larger and rupture. Rupture of the tumor can cause abdominal pain or hematuria. A large amount of blood injected into the abdominal cavity can cause metabolic acidosis. If clinical treatment is not timely, the patient will go into shock.

2. Cause disease in other tissues

Renal hamartomas can also occur in the brain, eyes, heart, and lungs. Therefore, in addition to the common manifestations of kidney lesions, there will also be butterfly-shaped facial sebaceous adenomas. Lesions in the brain can cause epilepsy, and the intelligence of some patients will also be affected. These lesions occurring in other parts of the body are difficult to treat.

The above two are the impacts brought by renal hamartoma. This disease has no obvious symptoms in the early stage of the lesion and is not easy to detect. Therefore, attention should be paid to screening for this type of disease during daily physical examinations. The treatment of renal hamartoma is generally determined according to the condition. Patients without obvious symptoms are generally subject to medical observation. Patients with obvious symptoms can try surgical resection.
