• Heredity

• Smoking

• High blood pressure

• Exposure to chlorinated chemicals in the workplace

• Kidney dialysis

Dr. Shashanka Dhanuka recommends people in the age cohort 60-74 be cautious as the disease is common among them. Also, since men are more prone to developing cancerous growth in kidneys than women, he advises them to be on their guard.
