First, any doctor collects you detailed medical history, performs thorough physical exam and
orders some simple tests - like blood test and especially urine test. Urine test (named
urinalysis) can show microscopic blood. If doctor really suspects kidney cancer, he may order
CT scan (computerized tomography)
Ultrasound
Intravenous pyelography (X ray image of special dye excretion). Excretion means ridding off.
MRI (magnetic resonance imaging)
If doctor suspects metastases, he orders:
Chest X-ray
Bone scan
CT
MRI
To plan for surgery he orders:
CT
MRI
Ultrasound
Arteriography - X-ray image of the dye in the blood vessels of kidneys.
Do not expect that all of this test will be done. Some of them will be done for sure.
