The symptoms of kidney cancer appear in places like your urine or lower back. Most likely they have to do with your kidney function and tumor growth. The kidneys are two bean-shaped, fist-sized organs under the backside of your rib cage. • 1. Blood in the urine • Hematuria, or blood in the urine, is one of the most common symptoms. It appears in 40 to 50 percent of people with kidney cancer, according to the Kidney Cancer Association. Even a small amount of blood can cause a color change such as pink, brownish, or even red. The presence of blood can be inconsistent, appearing about every other day. Sometimes the amount of blood is so small it can only be detected during a urinalysis. • 2. Lower back pain • Back pain is common in people over 40 years old. This is usually due to musculoskeletal injury or disk degeneration. Back pain is also less commonly a symptom of kidney cancer. About 41 percent of people with RCC report back pain. But most people don’t experience back pain until the cancer is in the later stages. The pain can range from a dull ache to a sharp stab on one side of your flank or below the ribs on your back. Your flank is the area between your lower back and the bottom of the backside of your ribs. It may also feel like side pain to some people. • 3. A mass or lump around your abdomen • A mass or lump in the abdomen, side, or back can also be a sign of kidney cancer. It can feel like a hard, thickening, or bulging bump under the skin. About 45 percent of people with RCC have an abdominal mass. • But kidney lumps are hard to feel, especially in the early stages. That’s because the kidneys sit deep in the abdomen. You may even see or feel the lump as the tumor grows. • 4. Anemia and fatigue • Fatigue is one of the most common symptoms of any type of cancer, especially during treatments. About 70 to 100 percent of people who undergo cancer treatments report fatigue. Many people with cancer say fatigue is one of the most difficult symptoms to manage. Fatigue from cancer is different than just feeling tired from lack of sleep. Cancer-related fatigue is persistent and interferes with daily activities. It can also intensify as time goes on. • 5. Unexpected weight loss • About 28 percent of people with kidney cancer report weight loss. This usually happens quickly, as the tumor spreads to other organs. You may suddenly lose interest in eating, even when you’re not trying to lose weight. This loss of appetite can contribute to weight loss. • A fever on its own isn’t usually a symptom of kidney cancer, but unexplained and recurring fevers may be. These fevers are usually not caused by an infection and commonly will come and go. • Article Credit: http://www.healthline.com/health/kidn... • Subscribe: / @diseasefact1575
