Study Notes
- Kidney cancer may not present symptoms until it has metastasized or become large
- Haematuria is the most common presentation
- Other symptoms include flank pain, weight loss, fever of unknown origin, and rarely, a palpable mass
- Kidney cancer is increasingly being picked up as an incidental finding on abdominal US and CT
- Diagnosis is confirmed through CT/MRI and chest x-ray for pulmonary metastasis
- Prognosis is good if the lesion is localized and without metastasis, with complete surgical resection of kidney and lymph nodes as treatment
- Post-surgical considerations are necessary and adjustments should be made to patient tolerance
- Metastasis to bone is a contraindication for chiropractic management
- Bladder diseases involve the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra
- No information provided on chiropractic management for kidney cancer
- The urinary tract is a hollow elastic organ that collects urine from the kidneys.
- The bladder holds 300-350ml of urine and triggers contraction of the detrusor muscle to expel urine.
- Neurogenic bladder is caused by neurologic damage and can result in overflow incontinence.
- Bladder calculi are stones that form due to urinary stasis in the bladder and can cause low back and abdominal pain.
- Urinary tract infections are caused by bacterial infections and can result in flank pain, small volume voiding, and fever.
- Proper hygiene can prevent UTIs, which are more common in women and young girls.
- Symptoms of bladder cancer include unexplained hematuria and pelvic pain.
- Diagnosis of bladder cancer includes cystoscopy with biopsy and CT scans to check for metastasis.
- Treatment for bladder cancer includes surgical resection and repeated bladder instillations of chemotherapeutic drugs.
- Chiropractic management can include hygiene advice, increased fluid intake, and catheter consideration.
