Facts About Kidney Disease and Kidney Cancer
Kidney disease and kidney cancer affect the kidneys' ability to filter waste and regulate fluid balance in the body. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) often develops slowly and may not cause noticeable symptoms until significant damage has occurred. Kidney cancer, including renal cell carcinoma, can also remain silent in its early stages and is frequently discovered during imaging performed for other reasons. Early detection is critical, as identifying kidney abnormalities sooner can slow disease progression, improve treatment options, and increase survival rates.
