My father-in-law had a bad kidney when he was young. He often went to the toilet. And urine and foam, so many years, the condition has not improved. Recently, his condition is getting heavier and heavier. We all suspect that he has kidney cancer and want to take him to the hospital for a check. Now let's talk about the early diagnosis methods of renal cancer.

What are the methods of early diagnosis of renal cell carcinoma

First: X-ray radiography: X-ray radiography is the main method of early diagnosis of renal cancer, its X-ray plain film can see the renal shape increase, contour change, occasionally around the tumor become calcification line; intravenous urography is a routine examination method, when used alone can not identify whether the tumor is renal cancer, only combined with ultrasound or CT examination, has important reference value for diagnosis. 　　

Second: ultrasound scanning: B-ultrasound examination is simple and easy. It is a part of routine physical examination to judge renal cancer by the lumpy echo in the kidney. The masses more than 1 cm in the kidney can be found by ultrasound scanning, which is highly sensitive to tumor. B-ultrasound can be used as the first choice for early diagnosis of renal cancer. 　　

Third: magnetic resonance imaging: experts said that magnetic resonance imaging examination is ideal, can identify the scope of renal cell carcinoma invasion, surrounding tissue capsule, especially renal cell carcinoma, renal vein, inferior vena cava tumor thrombus and lymph node metastasis. CT scan: CT plays an important role in the diagnosis of renal cell carcinoma. It can find renal cell carcinoma without changes of renal pelvis and calyces, and accurately determine the tumor density.

matters needing attention

There are many ways to check the early stage of renal cancer, such as X-ray contrast, ultrasound scanning, magnetic resonance imaging, CT scanning and other examinations can be used to diagnose the early stage of renal cancer. The specific method depends on the specific situation of the patient, and you can also consult a doctor.
