7. Causes: Kidney Cancer

Renal cell carcinoma is the most common form of kidney cancer, though children are most likely to develop a Wilms tumor. Symptoms of kidney cancer include loss of appetite, weight loss, fatigue, bloody or discolored urine, and constant back or side pain. Risk factors include smoking, advanced age, obesity, high blood pressure, inherited syndromes such as Birt-Hogg-Dube, and family history. Treatment is most successful when the cancer is caught early.
