  Nephroblastoma AKA- Wilms Tumor. Malignant tumor of the kidney (cancer). Highly responsive to therapy with 90% 5-year survival rate. Usually 5yrs old. Rarely occurs in adults. Abdominal mass (firm, nontender). Hematuria. Anemia. Weight loss. Blood pressure changes (due to hypersecretion of renal hormones renin). Tumor removal (Nephrectomy). Pre-op: Do not palpate Abdomen. Monitor BP. Post-op: Abdominal surgery = risk for obstruction. Monitor bowel function closely. Monitor urine output closely. Monitoring for side effects and toxicities. Your priority nursing concepts for a pediatric patient with Nephroblastoma are Cellular Regulation, Elimination and Comfort. Nursing-wise you want to make sure that no one palpates the abdomen! This is so important that its worth putting a sign up over the bed. After surgery you’ll need to monitor bowel function and urine output closely. Remember this is an abdominal surgery so they are at risk for bowel obstruction. They have also lost a kidney so its important to monitor urine output closely. For most young kids this means weighing their diapers. When you are weighing diapers remember that 1 gram of weight on the scale is roughly equal to 1 ml – just make sure subtract the weight of a dry diaper. Treatment usually starts with a nephrectomy, which is removal of the tumor, kidney and adrenal gland, and it is major abdominal surgery so these patients need to be monitored closely for standard post op complications like a bowel obstruction. We also need to be monitoring their urine output and kidney function as they now only have one kidney.

  The first symptom is usually an abdominal mass. On palpation it is usually non-tender, firm, confined to one side and quite deep. The left kidney is affected more often than the right. Most of the time it is discovered by a parent while they are bathing or dressing their child. Most of the time there aren’t any other noticeable symptoms, but sometimes the tumor pressing on the kidney can cause hematuria. The child may also be anemic if there is bleeding occurring inside the tumor. And blood pressure changes can happen because the additional renal cells found in the tumor are secreting extra adrenal hormones like, Renin, which can cause the blood pressure to go up. […] After surgery, the patient will undergo chemotherapy and radiation. Your nursing interventions for these two things will be similar to those discussed in the pediatric leukemia lesson so listen to that one to hear more on those. These kids will be monitored for the rest of their lives for complications associated with treatment and also for relapse. The most common location for a relapse is in the lungs.

  Nephroblastoma AKA- Wilms Tumor. Malignant tumor of the kidney (cancer). Highly responsive to therapy with 90% 5-year survival rate. Usually 5yrs old. Rarely occurs in adults. Abdominal mass (firm, nontender). Hematuria. Anemia. Weight loss. Blood pressure changes (due to hypersecretion of renal hormones renin). Tumor removal (Nephrectomy). Pre-op: Do not palpate Abdomen. Monitor BP. Post-op: Abdominal surgery = risk for obstruction. Monitor bowel function closely. Monitor urine output closely. Monitoring for side effects and toxicities. Your priority nursing concepts for a pediatric patient with Nephroblastoma are Cellular Regulation, Elimination and Comfort. Nursing-wise you want to make sure that no one palpates the abdomen! This is so important that its worth putting a sign up over the bed. After surgery you’ll need to monitor bowel function and urine output closely. Remember this is an abdominal surgery so they are at risk for bowel obstruction. They have also lost a kidney so its important to monitor urine output closely. For most young kids this means weighing their diapers. When you are weighing diapers remember that 1 gram of weight on the scale is roughly equal to 1 ml – just make sure subtract the weight of a dry diaper. Treatment usually starts with a nephrectomy, which is removal of the tumor, kidney and adrenal gland, and it is major abdominal surgery so these patients need to be monitored closely for standard post op complications like a bowel obstruction. We also need to be monitoring their urine output and kidney function as they now only have one kidney.
