Clinical data has suggested that the development of kidney cancer is related to several factors.
Genetic and hereditary risk factors
Von Hippel-Lindau disease Hereditary papillary renal cell carcinoma Hereditary leiomyomatosis and renal cell carcinoma Birt-Hogg-Dube syndrome Hereditary renal oncocytoma
Lifestyle-related and job-related risk factors
Smoking: Tobacco use increases the risk of developing renal cell carcinoma. Obesity: Clinical surveys demonstrate that kidney cancer has a close relationship with people who are very overweight. Workplace exposures: Clinical studies have suggested that workplace exposure to certain substances such as asbestos, cadmium, some herbicides, benzene, and organic solvents, particularly trichloroethylene, may increase the risk for kidney cancer.
Drugs: Some studies have suggested that phenacetin (non-prescription pain reliever) and diuretics (medicines uesd to treat hypertension or heart failure by causing the kidneys to remove salt and fluid from the body) may be linked to kidney cancer. Advanced kidney disease: People with advanced kidney disease, especially those needing dialysis, have a higher risk of kidney cancer. The reasons may be the accumulation of the metabolic toxin. A family history of kidney cancer Hypertension Gender: Men have about twice the risk of developing kidney cancer than women. Race: Epidemical data shows that African Americans have a slightly higher rate of kidney cancer than other races.
