Kidney disease is easily mistaken for digestive diseases

Although kidney cancer is not very common, but most of these tumors are malignant tumors are often the result of typical clinical symptoms failed to timely diagnosis and treatment, so patients are deprived of opportunity and treatment of loss of life.
See adult renal tumors are usually three types: renal cell carcinoma occurred in the renal parenchyma accounted for 80%; renal pelvis occurred in 20%; renal embryonal carcinoma in adults is rare. Occurred in children aged 1-3 are mainly in the renal embryonic kidney tumor, the disease in children 5 years of age is rare.
When clinically painless, intermittent hematuria, abdominal mass or kidney area and with low back pain when touched, with angiography and B-X, CT, and other related checks, not very difficult to diagnose kidney cancer. However, not all the typical clinical manifestations. Patients are often not the three diseases have emerged as, and even symptoms of the digestive tract and other organs, the main complaint. At this time, Department of Gastroenterology, patients seek help from other departments, it is likely misdiagnosed.
If a 55-year-old female patient recently complained of abdominal distension, low back pain for 2 months. Examination no abnormal signs of gastrointestinal disease, the doctor decided to immediately do for her ultrasound and found out swelling from the upper edge of the right kidney, the CT examination confirmed renal cell carcinoma.
Misdiagnosis of renal cell carcinoma are the following reasons:
First, the pain, although the specific symptoms of kidney cancer, one can often leaving patients in pain less severe failure to seek medical treatment immediately.
Second, the onset of painless hematuria was intermittent, the patient easily overlooked.
The third is an individual occurrence of kidney cancer patients because of early metastasis, metastatic disease, as may have been obvious, and primary cancer of the disease as yet been discovered. Such as bone fractures can occur, local mass, spinal metastasis can cause back pain, lower abdomen numbness and so on.
Fourth, patients with atypical symptoms or only a symptom of a disease not uncommon, and patients and doctors easily ignored.
Therefore, we should strengthen awareness of the disease, cases of suspicious X-ray imaging done early, B ultrasound and CT examination such as the corresponding artifact. The only treatment for kidney cancer surgery as soon as possible.
