Does Nodules In Kidney Indicate Renal Cancer?
Hello, My Daughter age 40, underwent a procedure to stretch her bladder and urethra. She suffers from Interstitial Cystitis. During the procedure her Urologist checked her kidney and they found 3 nodules on her kidney. scan shows them as dark spots. The did a TB test and it will be looked at today. He suspects Renal TB. My fear is Renal Cancer. And I am concerned that if the TB test is negative, so far it looks to be, my concern is they will not do further testing to identify these nodules for at a month or more. Any thoughts?

Hi,
As a diagnosis could not be made it is better to go for a biopsy to make a diagnosis. You can consult a urologist and plan for an ultrasound guided biopsy.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
