Diagnostic yield of renal biopsies: a retrospective single center review
BACKGROUND Previous studies have examined the spectrum of diseases identified with a kidney biopsy and the complications of the procedure. However, few studies have examined the utility of the test to clarify the diagnosis and guide treatment of pediatric patients. This retrospective, single-center chart review was performed to test the hypothesis that at least 80% of native kidney biopsies pro...
متن کاملPediatric renal abscess: a 10-year single-center retrospective analysis.
OBJECTIVE The objective of this retrospective series is to describe the demographics and treatment of patients with renal abscesses and to determine if abscess size influences management. METHODS We reviewed all pediatric cases of renal abscesses treated over a 10-year period in our medical center. Clinical, laboratory, imaging data, and treatment modalities were analyzed. RESULTS Thirty-si...
متن کاملDiagnostic significance of biopsies in renal masses
INTRODUCTION We investigated the reliability and mapping of percutaneous needle core biopsies in the kidney in histopathological diagnosis of renal masses particularly for those with suspicious radiologic appearance in an attempt to prevent unnecessary nephrectomies. MATERIAL AND METHODS Overall, 96 cases were included in our study that underwent radical nephrectomy or partial nephrectomy due...
متن کاملDiagnostic yield and complications of transthoracic computed tomography-guided biopsies.
INTRODUCTION The widespread use of computed tomography (CT) improves detection of pulmonary lesions, which are not only detected at an increased rate but also at a smaller size. CT-guided lung biopsies are now more frequently used than fluoroscopy-guided lung biopsies. The main aim of the present paper was to investigate the outcome and complications of the biopsies. METHODS We retrospectivel...
متن کاملDiagnostic yield of biopsies via fibre-optic bronchoscopy.
BACKGROUND Priority of all bronchoscopies has been diagnostic yield and various techniques have been introduced to improve it. Transbronchial biopsy (TBB) and transbronchial aspirates (TBA) also play an important role in improving diagnostic yield. The aim of the study was to determine the diagnostic yield of biopsies via fibre optic bronchoscopy (FOB) in 108 cases in which it was indicated. ...
