Kidney cancer in children: Signs and symptoms
Kidney or renal tumours are very rare in children. According to Kidney Cancer UK, about 75 per cent of childhood kidney cancer occurs in the under-fives. The three most common paediatric kidney cancers are Wilms’ tumour, Congenital Mesoblastic Nephroma, and Renal Cell Cancer. The good news is that these rare renal tumours in kids are often treatable and curable.
A lump in the child’s belly is the first sign. Other signs and symptoms of kidney cancer in children may include -
Fever
Blood in the urine
Pain in the belly
Weight loss
High blood pressure
Loss of appetite
Trouble with stools
What causes kidney cancer in children?
It’s unclear what exactly causes kidney cancer in children, although doctors believe that heredity may play a role in the development of Wilms’ tumour. According to Urology Care Foundation, some specific changes in chromosomes have been linked to a greater risk for Wilms’ tumour and tumour growth, which experts hope might shed some light on how to treat the condition.
Meanwhile, Emraan had also co-written a book titled ‘The Kiss of Life: How A Superhero and My Son Defeated Cancer’ along with Bilal Siddiqi on Ayaan's battle with cancer.
