Symptoms of Kidney CancerThe first symptom of cancer of the kidney is often blood in the urine. The blood often appears suddenly, although it may be present one day and absent the next. Sometimes blood clots may form and cause spasms in the ureters or the bladder, which can be painful. Sometimes people may notice a lump in the area of the kidney or a dull pain in the side. A persistent high temperature and weight loss can also be symptoms of cancer of the kidney. Although these symptoms can be caused by conditions other than cancer of the kidney, such as an infection or stones in the bladder or kidneys, it is important to get them checked by your doctor. Most people with any of the above symptoms will not have cancer of the kidney. Occasionally cancer of the kidney may not cause any symptoms and is diagnosed following a scan carried out for a different reason.
