definition: malignant neoplasm of the kidney, which is quite rare and affects twice as many men as women. Its main causes seem to be smoking and exposure to chemicals. The most common type of renal cancer is renal cell carcinoma, which arises in the lining of the renal tubules. Symptoms may include pain on one side of the back, blood in the urine, high blood pressure, and fever. Diagnosis is carried out through blood tests, IVP, ultrasound, urine tests, selective renal arteriography, CT scan, kindey scan and MRI. Treatment depends on the stage of the disease and the general health state of the patient, although surgery is the most common treatment and within it, there are several options: partial, radical or bilateral nephrectomy depending on whether part of the kidney, the whole kidney or both kidneys are removed.

definition: neoplasia maligna de riñón. Es poco frecuente y su incidencia en hombres es el doble que en mujeres. Entre sus causas parecen encontrarse el tabaco y la exposición a químicos. El tipo más frecuente de cáncer renal es el carcinoma de células renales que surge del tejido que recubre los túbulos renales. Los síntomas incluyen dolor en un lado de la espalda, sangre en la orina, tensión alta y fiebre. El diagnóstico se lleva a cabo por análisis de sangre, PIV, ecografía, análisis de orina, arteriografía renal selectiva, TAC, escáner de riñón y resonancia magnética. El tratamiento depende de la etapa de la enfermedad y del estado de salud general del paciente, aunque la cirugía es el principal tratamiento. Dentro de la cirugía, existen diversas opciones: nefrectomía parcial, radical o bilateral, dependiendo de si se extirpa parte de un riñón, un riñón entero o ambos respectivamente. (es)
