Early Signs of Kidney Cancer
Summary
Kidney cancer symptoms are often silent initially but may include blood in urine, unexplained weight loss, loss of appetite, anemia, lumps in the lower back, fatigue, and prolonged fever.
Key Points
- Blood in urine is the most common and obvious symptom of kidney cancer.
- Unexplained continuous weight loss can be a sign of cancer as cancer cells consume the body's energy.
- Loss of appetite and anemia are notable symptoms due to kidney tumors affecting the body's hormone and red blood cell production.
- Persistent fatigue, lumps above the waist, and prolonged fever, especially at night, may indicate kidney cancer.
