Diagnosis of renal tumors

Kidney cancer is usually diagnosed by a combination of medical history and physical examination, blood examination, imaging examination, histological examination, etc.

1. Medical history and physical examination The

doctor will ask about symptoms, disease history, family history, etc. to obtain necessary information. Subsequently, the doctor will perform a physical examination, including abdominal palpation, to look for possible lumps.

2. Blood examination to

assess whether kidney function is affected by blood urea nitrogen, creatinine, etc.

3. Imaging

examination includes B ultrasound, CT scan, MRI scan, renal arteriography, etc., to detect the presence of abnormal lumps in the kidney and to make a preliminary assessment of the nature of the lumps.

4. Histological examination

If imaging examination indicates the possible presence of malignant tumors, the doctor may recommend a kidney biopsy, by sampling kidney tissue for pathological examination to determine the nature and degree of malignancy.
