summary

Colleagues said that he always felt low back pain recently, and he had some hematuria when he went to the toilet. After several days, he felt that he was not right. Later, it was found out that it was kidney cancer. Fortunately, the cancer cells did not spread further. After drinking for a few days, the medicine didn't show any effect.

First: hematuria, hematuria often painless intermittent attack, naked eye visible whole hematuria, intermittent period with the development of the disease and shorten. Renal cell carcinoma bleeding may be accompanied by renal colic, often caused by blood clots through the ureter. The blood clot of hematuria in renal cell carcinoma may form a strip through ureter. The degree of hematuria was not related to the size of renal cell carcinoma. Renal cell carcinoma sometimes presents with persistent microscopic hematuria.

Second: pain. Pain is seen in many people. It is also a symptom of advanced renal cancer. It is caused by the growing tumor in the renal capsule or renal pelvis, or by the tumor invading and compressing the connective tissue, muscle, lumbar spine or lumbar nerve in the posterior abdominal wall.

Third: low back pain, low back pain is another common symptom of renal cell carcinoma, most of which are dull pain, limited to the waist. The pain is often caused by the growth of the tumor and the swelling of the renal capsule, and the blood clot through the ureter can also cause low back pain, as mentioned above. When the tumor invaded the surrounding organs and psoas muscle, the pain was severe and persistent.
