Will renal hamartoma cause back pain? The typical symptoms of renal hamartoma will tell you

Renal hamartoma is a benign tumor. The lesions occur not only in the kidneys but also in the brain, eyes, heart and other parts of the body. This disease often occurs in middle-aged women. Renal hamartoma has no obvious symptoms in the early stage. As the disease progresses, three typical symptoms will appear, namely digestive tract discomfort, back pain, hematuria and lesions in other parts of the body. Generally, it will not cause back pain in patients.

Renal hamartoma is a benign hemangioma. This disease was rare in the past. With the development of science and people's emphasis on health, the detection rate of clinical renal hamartoma has increased in recent years. Renal hamartoma mostly occurs in middle-aged women. The site of disease is not only the kidney but also the brain, eyes, heart and lungs. Let's introduce this disease in detail.

Renal hamartoma is also known as renal angiomyolipoma. This tumor is composed of abnormally proliferating blood vessels, smooth muscle and adipose tissue in different proportions. Clinically, most renal hamartomas are asymptomatic. Obvious symptoms will only appear after the disease develops to a certain stage. Renal hamartoma will not cause back pain. The following typical symptoms will also appear clinically after the occurrence of renal hamartoma.

1. Digestive tract discomfort

There are no obvious symptoms in the early stages of renal hamartoma. As the disease progresses, the tumor will gradually increase in size. The enlarged tumor will compress the surrounding tissues of the kidney, duodenum, and stomach, etc., and when the organs of the digestive tract are compressed, the functions of the corresponding organs of the patient will be affected, causing discomfort in the digestive tract.

2. Low back pain and hematuria

Because renal hamartoma is constantly growing, the tumor may rupture. After the tumor ruptures, the patient will feel severe back pain and blood will appear in the urine. When the disease is severe, the patient may also go into shock due to the tumor rupture.

3. Lesions in other parts of the body

The onset of renal hamartoma not only causes kidney symptoms, but may also cause sebaceous adenomas on the face, epilepsy in the brain, and affect intelligence.

The above three are typical symptoms of renal hamartoma. Although renal hamartoma is a tumor, the patient's prognosis is good if it is treated properly. If the patient's lesions spread to both kidneys, the treatment will also affect the patient's quality of life. Patients should undergo regular checkups during their daily recovery and maintain adequate nutrition in order to better recover their health.
