• Kidney cancer has direct links to a person's
  urine because the kidneys play a vital role in
  filtering waste products out of our blood. And
  like other forms of cancer, kidney cancer may not
  immediately produce symptoms or, if and when
  symptoms do appear they may have done so for
  reasons other than cancer. A person with an
  infection or a cyst for example, will present as
  would someone with kidney cancer. Initially a
  tumor in the kidney may be very small in which
  case there may well be few if any symptoms at all.

• Kidney cancer is likely to be found more in
  people over 55 years of age and is more common in
  men than in women. There are several factors
  which are believed to influence the cause of
  kidney cancer and the interesting thing is that
  many of these factors are able to be controlled
  by the patient two excellent examples being
  smoking and obesity. Don't smoke and do lose
  weight are two ways to reduce your risk of
  developing kidney cancer.

Symptoms of this disease are as follows

• Blood is seen in one's urine and this is the most
  common symptom. But this symptom can be because a
  person has kidney stones, an infection or, in the
  case of many men, an enlarged prostate gland.
• A lump or swelling in the area of the kidney.
• General lethargy and tiredness.
• A pain or ache which persists in the lower back
  or lower side.
• Sudden weight loss and/or loss of appetite.
• Sweating, fever and the like.

• The kidneys carry out vital roles within the body
  including filtering blood and making hormones.
  These hormones regulate blood pressure, control
  calcium levels and help in the manufacture of red
  blood cells. Healthy kidneys go a long way to
  making a healthy body.
