Kidney cancer is one of the most common malignancies of the urinary system, and early detection and timely detection are important to save lives. How to find clues of kidney cancer, we must first start with the clinical manifestations of kidney cancer.
Unfortunately, there are no characteristic manifestations of kidney cancer, and the so-called "kidney cancer triad" of hematuria, low back pain and abdominal mass indicates that the disease is more serious. In addition to the abdominal mass of larger tumors, in men, the tumor may also squeeze the spermatic cord and cause varicocele, and an earthworm-like mass may be seen or felt in **. In the early stage, tumors are relatively small and asymptomatic, and are often found by abdominal imaging examinations for health checkups or other diseases.
Some kidney cancer patients will secrete hormones, cytokines and other substances to produce a variety of conditions, such as hypertension, anemia, fever, abnormal liver function, hypercalcemia, polycythemia, etc., which is also known as "paratumor syndrome" in medicine.
Kidney cancer is a malignant tumor that may metastasize to other organs and manifest as bone pain when metastasizing to the bones and cough as it metastasizes to the lungs.
Since the symptoms of kidney cancer are not characteristic, imaging and pathological diagnosis are required, and regular health examinations are important.
