Renal cell carcinoma - Signs and symptoms
The classic triad is hematuria (blood in the urine), flank pain and an abdominal mass. This "classic triad" is infrequently present when the patient first presents for medical attention.
Other signs may include:
- Abnormal urine color (dark, rusty, or brown) due to blood in the urine
- Weight loss of more than 5% of body weight with emaciated, thin, malnourished appearance
- More and more frequently, renal cell carcinoma is identified as an incidental finding on a medical imaging study of the abdomen (e.g. computed tomography a.k.a. CT) done for an unrelated purpose
- The presenting symptom may be due to to metastatic disease, such as a pathologic fracture of the hip due to a metastasis to the bone
- Enlargement of one testicle (usually the left, due to blockage of the left gonadal vein by tumor invasion of the left renal vein -- the right gonadal vein drains directly into the inferior vena cava)
- Paraneoplastic phenomena (not directly due to the mass, but due to secreted substances with hormonal activity):
- Vision abnormalities
- Pallor or plethora
- Excessive hair growth (females)
- Constipation
- Cold intolerance
- High blood pressure
