Kidney Tumor
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
A renal tumor is an abnormal growth of cells within the kidney. It can be benign or malignant, and not all tumors have the same behavior or the same implications.
Common symptoms: Many cause no discomfort in the early stages; when symptoms appear, they may include blood in the urine, pain in the flank or lower back, or a palpable lump. They are often discovered incidentally on imaging studies.
When should you see a doctor? When there is blood in the urine or persistent lower back pain, an evaluation is advisable, without alarming yourself in advance, since the causes are varied.
Which specialist treats it? The urologist is usually the one who evaluates kidney tumors, with support from the radiologist for imaging studies. A timely consultation makes it possible to clarify the picture with reliable information.
