Kidney Cancer Awareness Week

Posted by: ethan - Posted on:

Kidney Cancer can be symptomless

Kidney Cancer often has no symptoms and is often detected during tests for other medical conditions. More than half of adult kidney tumours are detected when using an ultrasound scan to investigate symptoms, such as: high blood pressure, muscle wasting and weight loss, high temperature or fever, disorders affecting the nerves and muscles, inflammation, anaemia, abnormal liver function tests, and high levels of calcium in the blood (hypercalcaemia).
