How does child nephroblastoma check?

Blood examination, blood routine examination can be normal, generally mild anemia, but also a small number of erythropoietin increased, which may be related to erythropoietin. It can be used as an indicator of whether there is bone marrow hematopoietic suppression during treatment.

Blood tests showed normal renal function. Erythrocyte sedimentation rate generally increased, 15-90mm / h, especially in the advanced stage of extraordinarily large tumor, which is considered as an indicator of poor prognosis. Blood urea nitrogen, creatinine and other tests reflect kidney damage. Erythropoietin was decreased in severe renal damage. Liver function test can be used to observe the toxicity of treatment.

Urine examination urine microscopic examination many hematuria and proteinuria, but the urine can not find cancer cells. Hematuria and urinary tract infection can be detected by urine test and culture. Bone marrow examination shows that it is very rare for this disease to metastasize to bone marrow, while neuroblastoma often has bone marrow metastasis. Therefore, bone marrow examination is very helpful in the differential diagnosis of these two diseases.
