Percutaneous Renal Biopsy

چکیده
Renal biopsy is an essential tool for the diagnosis of several renal diseases. The first renal biopsies were performed in 1923 as open surgical procedures (Gwyn, 1923). The percutaneous approach has been part of the clinical practice since 1951 (Iversen & Brun, 1951). A few years later, a description of the procedure with the patient placed in a prone position was published (Kark & Muehrcke, 1954). The new technique had a success rate of more than 90% and was not associated with major complications. Percutaneous ultrasoundguided renal biopsy is now considered as the standard method. It is a routine procedure that can be done with minimal discomfort to the patient. Here we review major topics related to this frequent and useful procedure in the field of nephrology.

A novel technique to obtain renal biopsy specimens from patients in whom percutaneous renal biopsy is contraindicated is described. After adaptation of equipment used for transjugular liver biopsy, 50 such patients underwent transjugular renal biopsy: specimens of renal tissue were obtained from 44 patients, and glomeruli were found in 38 specimens. No major complications were observed and hist...

متن کاملRenal biopsy for medical renal disease: indications and contraindications.
INTRODUCTION Percutaneous renal biopsy (PRB) is a safe and effective modality for sampling kidney tissue. In limited circumstances, alternative methods for kidney biopsy may be indicated. Historical contraindications for PRB such as bleeding diathesis, morbid obesity and solitary kidney have been called into question in the literature. We present a review of the literature on PRB and the risks ...
متن کاملBilateral pneumothorax following percutaneous renal biopsy.
Percutaneous renal biopsy is an important tool for defining the type and severity of many renal diseases. Modifications in the procedure have been made from time to time. The latest innovation has focused on more accurate localization of the kidney by ultrasound localization prior to biopsy. From a large series published in the literature it appears that renal biopsy is almost without risk. How...
متن کاملClinical Report Desmopressin use prior to renal transplant biopsy—does it fit?
Desmopressin acetate (DDAVP), a selective agonist of type 2 vasopressin receptors, is sometimes used prior to percutaneous renal biopsy to reduce the risk of bleeding complications. DDAVP increases free water reabsorption in renal collecting ducts, potentially leading to water intoxication or dilutional hyponatraemia. We present two cases, where DDAVP was used prior to percutaneous renal transp...
