A member asked:
Can a large kidney angiomyolipma affect my actual kidney and kidney function?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Usually not: The main risk is of bleeding within the tumor itself as it happens with persons who have a condition called tuberous sclerosis. Other than that if just occupies space but does not disturb the function of the organ.
