In this episode, Dr. Morgan Taylor takes a deep dive into Wilms tumor (nephroblastoma)—a childhood kidney cancer with a distinctive clinical profile. In under 15 minutes, you’ll connect anatomy, pathophysiology, and bedside nursing care so this high-yield topic finally sticks.

What you'll learn:

• What a Wilms tumor is and the age group it most often affects

• How tumor growth in the kidney triggers excess renin release and leads to hypertension 

• The critical safety rule: never palpate the mass to avoid rupture 

• How to spot the difference between early vs. late symptoms (mass + HTN vs. hematuria, pain, fever) 

• The nurse’s role: monitor BP, track I&O, prep for nephrectomy, and support family education 

Perfect for: Pediatric exam prep, NCLEX review, and new nurses in clinical practice who need a quick, practical understanding of Wilms tumor.
