Kidney Cancer Symptoms

Most people with kidney cancer have no symptoms, and nearly all kidney cancers are identified by a CT, ultrasound or MRI performed for another reason. Yet, tumors that are enlarged can cause symptoms.

These symptoms include:

  • Blood in the urine
  • Back pain
  • Abdominal pain
  • Weight loss or weakness
  • Cough or shortness of breath
