What are the examination methods for kidney cancer

In daily life, we need to pay attention to the occurrence of kidney cancer, and we must pay attention to comprehensive treatment to avoid affecting the body, and pay attention to changes in liver function to avoid causing more harm. It can be diagnosed through X-ray modeling, and everyone needs to pay attention to comprehensive examinations. So, what are the common examination methods for kidney cancer?

( 1) X-ray films: X-ray films can show that the kidney is enlarged and its contour is changed. Occasionally, there is tumor calcification, localized or widespread flocculent shadows within the tumor, and calcification lines or shells around the tumor. Kidney cancer is more common in young people.

( 2) Intravenous urography. Intravenous urography is a routine examination method. However, it cannot show tumors that have not yet caused the renal pelvis and calyces to deform, and it is difficult to distinguish whether the tumor is renal cancer, renal angiomyolipoma, or renal cyst. Therefore, its importance is reduced. Ultrasound or CT examination must be performed at the same time for further identification. However, intravenous urography can understand the function of both kidneys and the condition of the renal pelvis, calyces, ureters, and bladder, which has important reference value for diagnosis.
