Each year, June 16 is observed as World Kidney Cancer Day to create awareness about the disease, its symptoms, management, and treatment. Kidney cancer is the 13th most prevalent type of cancer around the world and accounts for about 1.8 lakh casualties each year globally. While traditionally Kidney Cancer has been found to be more prevalent among individuals aged above 40, of late the disease has been traced among the younger population as well. Like in other forms of cancer, early diagnosis of the tumor plays the most critical role in the successful treatment of the disease and recovery of the patient.
Early diagnosis of kidney cancer can be challenging. This is because the kidneys are located deeper within the body and the formation of the tumor and its early growth are likely to go unnoticed. Often, kidney cancer is only diagnosed when the tumor has grown substantially and starts hindering the normal functioning of the kidneys. Onlymyhealth spoke to Dr. Chandrakanth MV, Oncologist at Narayana Health, Kolkata, to know more about kidney cancer.
Kidney Cancer symptoms you should not ignore

Symptoms of kidney cancer include back pain, stomach ache, loss of appetite, fatigue, weight loss, etc. Hence, it is extremely important for one to take these seriously if these symptoms persist for an extended period of time. According to Dr. Chandrakanth, the five most common symptoms of Kidney Cancer are:
1. Blood in urine aka hematuria
Since both the kidneys are directly affected by the cancerous tumor, their functioning is impaired. This may lead to the passage of blood along with urine. This symptom is arguably the most common symptom among kidney cancer patients. The patients experience the color of their urine turns red or black in different shades along with sharp twinges of pain while urinating. While there are chances that it might only be a symptom of a commonly prevalent and treatable urine infection, if the symptom persists for a long period of time, consider consulting an expert about the possibility of kidney cancer.

2. Lump in your abdomen
A growing tumor will also result in swelling of organs near the abdomen or the lower back.. A lump that has suddenly surfaced in the abdomen region or lower back and does not vanish over time warrants a visit to the doctor and diagnostic tests for Kidney Cancer.
3. Acute Weight loss and fatigue
Since the pair of kidneys are unable to fulfill their primary function of purifying the blood and removing waste products, the body keeps losing large amounts of blood. The loss of blood can lead to extreme fatigue, sudden weight loss and a general loss of appetite.
4. Anemia
The loss of blood can also lead to anemia. Individuals who are anemic should also look out for other symptoms of Kidney Cancer and consume nutritious diets and supplements to increase their blood count.
