Kidney cancer is most often found in people past the age of 40 and men are twice as likely to be diagnosed with the disease. Other risk factors include:

* Smoking
* Obesity
* High blood pressure
* Long-term dialysis
* Von Hippel-Lindau syndrome

Unfortunately, the incidence of kidney cancer is on the rise. The good news is that advances in imaging technology has led to the earlier detection of tumors that used to go undetected until the disease had advanced. Now, small tumors are often discovered during CTs, MRIs and ultrasounds being performed for some other reason.

Early symptoms of kidney cancer may include:

* Blood in the urine
* A pain in the side that doesn’t go away
* A lump or mass in the side of the abdomen
* Weight loss
* Fever
* Feeling very tired

HEALTH IS WEALTH............TAKE CARE

Thanks to aware about the critical issue of kidney..My main problem was smoking..I was a chain smoker. But when I got to know about it's bad impact on kidney I decided to give it up..and took help of pillsguide to stop smoking..Now due to pillsguide I'm absolutely smoke free..

Is it more common in men because the number of men who smokes is greater than women? Or is it because of the genes?

Whatever is reason behind smoking..just one thing I know it's really very bad and hard habit..I always say,hardest part is having the power to quit for good.I did it..Pillsguide really helped me to quit smoking..

I would like to your article.I follow the your rules and leave my bad habits for smoking as soon as possible.
