Will renal hamartoma lead to abnormal urine crystals?

Renal hamartoma is a benign tumor caused by abnormal proliferation of blood vessels and smooth muscles. Clinically, urinary tract infection, urinary crystals, low back pain, hematuria, hypertension, indigestion, and renal dysfunction are more common. Once similar symptoms are found, it is recommended that patients should go to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment in time to avoid missing the best time for treatment.

In the early stage of renal hamartoma, there are usually no obvious clinical symptoms. Once it develops to a certain extent, urine crystals often appear. Renal hamartoma is also known as renal angiomyolipoma in the medical field. The disease is mainly composed of abnormal proliferation of blood vessels, smooth muscles and other factors. Renal hamartoma can occur not only in kidney tissue, but also in the brain, eyes, heart, lung bones and other parts. Now let's introduce some common knowledge about this disease.

1. Abnormal urine crystals: The symptoms of abnormal urine crystals in renal hamartoma are sometimes not particularly obvious and can only be found under a microscope. Some people with severe cases have obvious abnormal urine crystals, which can be seen directly by naked eye. This is caused by the growth of renal hamartoma to a certain extent and urinary tract infection. Urinary tract infection will cause people with renal hamartoma to have symptoms of urine crystals.

2. Waist and abdominal pain: Most people with renal hamartomas do not have obvious symptoms. Some larger hamartomas may cause digestive discomfort due to compression of the duodenum, stomach and other organs. If a renal hamartoma suddenly ruptures, some patients may also experience waist and abdominal pain, abdominal masses, and gross hematuria. In severe cases, severe bleeding may even occur.

3. Renal dysfunction: Renal hamartoma will not only cause abnormal urine crystals and macroscopic hematuria, but if the tumor is not removed in time, as the tumor grows, the tumor will occupy the position of the kidney, causing the kidney to gradually lose its own function, eventually leading to renal dysfunction.

Renal hamartoma is a solid space-occupying lesion. Generally, B-ultrasound and CT examinations can provide a high degree of localization and qualitative diagnosis of kidney tumors. The vast majority of renal hamartomas are unlikely to become cancerous, but some patients may increase their tendency to become cancerous under the influence of certain internal and external factors. Regardless of whether patients with renal hamartomas have symptoms such as urine crystals, the principle of early detection and early treatment should be adopted.
