SYMPTOMS OF KIDNEY CANCER:
Often there are no obvious symptoms of kidney cancer. It’s usually diagnosed when testing for something else.
When there are symptoms, they can include:
- blood in your pee
- a lump or swelling in your back, under your ribs, or in your neck
- pain between your ribs and waist that does not go away
- loss of appetite or losing weight without trying to
- feeling tired or having no energy
- a high temperature that does not go away
- sweating a lot, including at night
Tips on getting the most out of your doctors appointment:
- Write down your symptoms including when they started, when they happen and how often you have them.
- Write down anything that makes them worse or better.
- Tell your doctor if you are worried about cancer.
- Tell them if you have any family history of cancer.
- Take a friend or relative along for support - they could also ask questions and take notes to help you remember what the GP says.
- Ask the doctor to explain anything you don’t understand.
- Ask the doctor to write things down for you if you think it might help.
Risk factors for kidney cancer can include: Body weight and height, Smoking, Kidney disease, Faulty genes and inherited conditions, Family history, High blood pressure, Thyroid cancer, Diabetes.

My husband died of kidney cancer in 2020. He doesn't have any symptoms but in Feb on a short holiday he felt a sudden chills otherwise was feeling ok. No blood in urine, no sudden weight loss, no pain. He was on Metformin for his type 2 diabetes. He was a little anaemic as he has thalassemia minor.
His health started to deteriorate in june/july and he passed away on 26 Oct 2020, 1 week to our 28th wedding anniversary. I cried everyday for the first few months n stll missing him. Thanks for reading my story wishing everyone good health..

I was diagnosed the saturday just gone with 10cm cancer on my right kidney. But now i have to wait till 10th of july to see a specialist. I am in so much pain in my lower back and legs. I also feel horrible which isn't normal for me. All i was told is to present to ED for pain relief.
Hi is any risks of operation kidney tumor

Hi, I really want to ask you something. I have been coughing for like few weeks and it doesn't change. First time I had really bad cough and phlegm in chest and wheezing but now I dont have any still 1 or 3 cough a day. I kinda had gone to a place 2 days ago and my cough is back. My cough only comes alot on night tho. I also hav slight chest pain sometimes. Idk if its becuz of my anxiety tho. So I just wanna know why I have this cough. Also Im 14
Go to the doctor I don’t wanna scare you but you might have asthma it isn’t bad thing to have but you need help from doctor because they can give you inhalers and if you get phlegm come up to your throat spit it out it doesn’t matter if your sick
Thank you so much for watching the video and taking time to leave a comment. Unfortunately (and I know this will be frustrating for you), I am unable to give individual medical advice out on this channel. This is because of medico-legal reasons, not knowing your full case, circumstances, and it would be unethical of me to do so otherwise. I have included the general resources I used to make this video in the description box but I have to advise that you speak to your own health provider (e.g. doctor, nurse) so that they can properly assess your case. This is the safest and most ethical advice I can give since this is just intended as a general educational resource. Thanks for understanding.
How do you examine the kidneys?
I actually made another video on this: th-cam.com/video/O_Iwwegw-ek/w-d-xo.html
How
I have purple red blood in urine for three days now , flank pain that come and go, i had an UTI, and I have pain in kidneys whose severity varies with an urge to urinate more often, but now for some time i feel tired all the time I have never been like this before , I can't focus on studies, my ultrasound results are clear but i have a constant feeling that something is wrong.
Do CT scan
With and without contact
sold mine so won't have cancer
