I just had a Pet scan. I have numerous bright spots on both Kidneys and throat. I have been battling non-Hoskins lymphoma. I several lymph nodes removed three weeks ago. Results inconclusive. The reason for my PET scan. When showing images in a green-red-yellow, the spots show red. Has the cancer gone to my Kidneys?

Thanks for your question on HCM. .
If PET SCAN shows hot spots in kidneys, there is high possibility of metastases in kidneys.
Symptoms of this can be
1. Blood in urine.
2. Flank pain
3. Protien loss in urine.
4. Weight loss
5. Tender of abdomen etc.
So get done urine examination for this.
For confirmation, renal biopsy is needed.
