The kidney is a very important organ of the human body, which purifies the blood and removes excess fluid and waste from the body in the urinary size. But when cancer is nesting on this important organ, it puts life in extreme risk. In recent times, the rate of kidney cancer, including Bangladesh, has been increasing alarmingly. Various causes including modern living, pollution, uncontrollable eating habits are causing this deadly disease. In this article we will discuss the causes, symptoms, risky issues and remedies for kidney cancer.
> What is kidney cancer?
When the kidney cells grow abnormally and produce these cells in other parts of the body, it is called kidney cancer. In the early stages it acts like a silent killer, because there are often no symptoms.
Usually two types of kidney cancer can be seen more:
Renal Cell Carcinoma (RCC): This is the most common type of cancer in adults.
Wilms' Tumor: It happens in children.
> Types of kidney cancer
* Renal Cell Carsinoma (RCC): This is the most common type of kidney cancer, which is derived from the lining cells of small tubes in the kidney. RCC may vary in behavior and appearance. Although general, some forms of RCC are more aggressive than others.
* Transitional Cell Carsinoma: This cancer originates in the renal pelvis. It is the place where the urine is collected before the bladder. It is less common than RCC and can spread to other parts of the urinary tract.
* Wilms tumor: This type of kidney cancer is quite different from cancer that affects common and adults in children.
* Renal sarcoma: It is a rare form of kidney cancer and is more aggressive than other types. It is produced in the kidney's blood vessels or connecting tissue.
> The main causes of kidney cancer
1. Smoking:-Smoking is the biggest risk of kidney cancer. Studies show that smokers increase the chances of kidney cancer by up to 50%.
2. High blood pressure:- High blood pressure is not only the heart, but also the kidney enemy. It can cause cancer in the long run by damaging kidney cells.
3. Fat or obesity:- Excess weight destroys the hormone balance, which can be a major cause of tumor growth in the kidney.
4. Genetic or Hereditary Causes:- If someone has kidney cancer in the family, the risk increases.
5. Long-term dialysis:-Those who have to take long dialysis, change the kidney tissue and increase the chances of a tumor.
6.Chemical Exposure:-Cadmium, Asbestos, Solvents can also cause cancer in contact with some chemicals.
7. Uncontrolled eating and processed foods:- Junk food, more salt and preserved foods are harmful to the kidney in the long run.
> The main cause of kidney cancer in children:
* Genetic Causes:- In some cases, Wilms tumors can be hereditary. If anyone in the family has this disease, the risk of the disease increases in others. Some genital syndromes such as Wagr Syndrome, Beckwith-Widemann Syndrome, and Denys-Drash Syndrome also have relations with Wilms tumors.
* Congenital error:- Some children are born with kidney structural problems, such as polycystic kidney disease or renal dysplasia, which can increase the risk of kidney cancer.
* Other causes:- In some cases, the cause of the cancer remains unknown. Environmental causes, such as exposed to some chemicals, may increase the risk of kidney cancer in children, but it is still under study
> Symptoms of kidney cancer
In the early stages, kidney cancer is often unconflicted, and it is difficult to detect until it grows or spreads. However, some symptoms can be seen at the next stage.
* Pain on the back or side: Discomfort or pain on the lower back or side of the back can be symptoms of growing tumors. Sometimes, the pain can be intense.
* Urine blood (hematuria): This is one of the most common symptoms of kidney cancer. The urine can be red, pink or brown, which indicates the presence of blood.
* In the abdomen or mass: In some cases, a mass or ant can be formed and can be found through physical examination.
* Fatigue: Unstable fatigue or excess fatigue can also be a symptom of kidney cancer.
* Fever: An endless fever that is not related to infection or cold can indicate kidney cancer.
* Unbearable weight loss: Significant weight loss without planned diet or extreme exercise can be symptoms of improved cancer.
> Ways to diagnose kidney cancer
1. Urine Test: Blood or other abnormalities can be identified in the urine.
2. Blood Examination: Kidney function is verified.
3. Imaging Test (CT Scan, MRR, Ultrasound): Helps determine the location and expansion of the tumor.
4. Biopsy: Analyzing the cells of the tumor can confirm whether it is cancer.
If kidney cancer is detected, the medical procedure may vary according to the patient's condition, age and type of tumor.
> Preventive measures
1. Avoid Smoking:- Leaving smoking reduces the risk of kidney cancer.
2. Keep weight control: - Develop a balanced diet and exercise habit.
