Being your own advocate should start long before ever contacting an attorney regarding a medical malpractice claim. Sometimes, kidney tests are not always done properly, leading to kidney misdiagnoses. Physicians and their staff are not always diligent in providing results, delaying kidney cancer diagnoses. Learn more about your diagnosis from our kidney cancer lawyers.
A Delayed Diagnosis Of Kidney Cancer Can Have Serious Consequences
Delays in diagnosing kidney cancer can have devastating results. Any type of cancer that goes undiagnosed limits your options for treatment. Misdiagnosis can shorten your life expectancy. The goal of being cancer-free presents more challenges.
To diagnose kidney cancer, doctors must be aware of the symptoms associated with the condition.
According to the American Cancer Society, these symptoms include:
- Blood in the urine;
- Persistent low back pain;
- A mass, lump, or growth on the side or lower back;
- Unexplained fatigue or loss of appetite;
- Unintentional weight loss;
- A persistent fever not caused by a virus or infection; and
- Anemia.
