Symptoms of renal cell carcinoma

The early stages of kidney cancer warning appears diverse, and most are general symptoms of disease should be developed to a certain degree of urinary symptoms emerge. Therefore, early detection and diagnosis of kidney cancer depends on the height of the vigilance.

Volume of renal cell carcinoma regardless of size, about 20% of patients may be no early symptoms, only in the census and for other reasons for physical examination or ultrasound examination when B is found kidney lesions or touch to the abdominal mass. Some patients with renal primary foci is very small, no urinary or renal symptoms, were the first to show symptoms of distant metastasis.

Found in patients with axillary, abdominal mass, in order to find the primary lesion was found to be renal cell carcinoma. It is precisely because these characteristics are also early signs of kidney cancer can be manifested in the urinary tract symptoms and other symptoms of renal two aspects:

Urinary tract symptoms other than the 40% of patients show only the general symptoms such as fatigue, lack of energy, poor appetite, indigestion, nausea, constipation and so on.

Lumbar mass

Renal cell carcinoma lesions increased to a considerable extent from the waist or upper abdomen touched (or seen) mass. About 20% to 30% of patients with this symptom. In the lateral position to take it easier when the mass palpable, and sometimes can see the mass moved up and down with respiration.
