A history of smoking greatly increases the risk for developing renal cell carcinoma.
Most patients with renal cell carcinoma do not have typical risk factors; their cause of developing renal cell carcinoma remains unknown. Established risk factors for the development of renal cell carcinoma are shown below:
*Active and passive cigarette smoking(5,6)
*Obesity (7,8)
*Hypertension
*End-stage renal failure(13,14)


===Genetic risk factors===
*Acquired cystic renal disease (13,14)
Some people may also have inherited an increased risk to develop renal cell carcinoma, and a family history of kidney cancer increases the risk. People with [[von Hippel-Lindau disease]], a hereditary disease that also affects the capillaries of the [[brain]], commonly also develop renal cell carcinoma.


====Autosomal dominant conditions====
*Acetaminophen and analgesic drug use
 
*Asbestos or trichloroethylene exposure(15)
* [[Birt-Hogg-Dube syndrome]]
*Tuberous sclerosis (13,14)
* Hereditary [[leiomyomatosis]] and renal cell cancer
*von-Hippel Lindau(17)
* Hereditary nonpolyposis [[colorectal cancer]]
*Hereditary paraganglioma (0)
* [[von Hippel-Lindau syndrome]]
*Leiomyomatosis
 
*Birt-Hogg-Dube syndrome(0)
Other associated genes include TRC8, OGG1, [[HNF1A]], [[HNF1B]], [[TFE3]], RCCP3, and RCC17.
 
====Autosomal recessive conditions====
 
* [[Fumarase deficiency]]

Risk factors

Most patients with renal cell carcinoma do not have typical risk factors; their cause of developing renal cell carcinoma remains unknown. Established risk factors for the development of renal cell carcinoma are shown below:

  • Active and passive cigarette smoking(5,6)
  • Obesity (7,8)
  • Hypertension
  • End-stage renal failure(13,14)
  • Acquired cystic renal disease (13,14)
  • Acetaminophen and analgesic drug use
  • Asbestos or trichloroethylene exposure(15)
  • Tuberous sclerosis (13,14)
  • von-Hippel Lindau(17)
  • Hereditary paraganglioma (0)
  • Leiomyomatosis
  • Birt-Hogg-Dube syndrome(0)
