How to check for renal hamartoma

How to check for renal hamartoma? Although renal hamartoma is not a common disease, it is now increasingly common, so we need to pay attention to this disease. Knowing more about hamartoma can help us find and treat it in time. So how to check for renal hamartoma?

Renal hamartoma has similar symptoms to renal cell carcinoma, nephroblastoma, and polycystic kidney disease in clinical practice. Therefore, when diagnosing or performing abdominal X-ray examinations, people should carefully examine the disease. Although the clinical symptoms are similar, high-tech examinations such as B-ultrasound, CT, and MRI images can qualitatively diagnose renal hamartoma. The reason for careful examination is also for targeted treatment.

Steps/Methods:

1. If people do some B-ultrasound or CT scans, they can find that there are a lot of fat components in the affected area of ​​renal hamartoma in the body, which can easily distinguish it from diseases such as nephroblastoma and renal cell carcinoma.

2. Moreover, when patients with renal hamartoma undergo B-ultrasound, although there is a lump in their abdomen, there will be a medium-to-strong echo area inside the lump. Angiography can also well distinguish renal hamartoma and can be used as a diagnostic criterion.

3. If patients with renal hamartoma develop tuberous sclerosis, their tumors are relatively small, but they will grow in both kidneys. People who have this condition are relatively young, and this type of renal hamartoma is prone to multiple occurrences.

Note: People should carefully check renal hamartoma when they have the disease, such as the size and location of the tumor. Most importantly, whether the tumor has bleeding. If there is no bleeding, people do not need hemodialysis. When the tumor grows in a marginal position, people can also use some surgery for treatment.
