    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Sonic-guided renal biopsies effectively obtain tissue and glomeruli, even in patients with poor kidney function or small kidney size. This technique is valuable for challenging renal biopsy cases.

    Area of Science:

    • Nephrology
    • Interventional Radiology
    • Diagnostic Procedures

    Background:

    • Renal biopsies are crucial for diagnosing kidney diseases.
    • Traditional biopsy methods may be limited in patients with impaired renal function or reduced kidney size.
    • Alternative localization techniques may not be feasible in all cases.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To report the efficacy of sonically guided renal biopsies.
    • To evaluate the success rate of obtaining renal tissue and glomeruli using this method.
    • To assess the utility of sonically guided biopsies in patients with poor renal function and/or small renal size.

    Main Methods:

    • A retrospective analysis of 91 sonically guided renal biopsies.
    • Categorization of patients based on renal size and function.

  • Assessment of renal tissue and glomeruli acquisition rates.

    • Main Results:

    • In 53 patients with adequate renal size/function, 100% obtained renal tissue and 88.6% obtained glomeruli.
    • In 38 patients with poor renal function (serum creatinine ≥ 4.0 mg/dl) and/or small renal size (≤ 10 cm), 86.8% obtained renal tissue and 73.7% obtained glomeruli.
    • Sonic guidance proved effective across diverse patient groups.

    Conclusions:

    • Sonic-guided renal biopsy is a highly effective technique for tissue and glomeruli acquisition.
    • This method is particularly valuable in patients with contraindications for other localization techniques.
    • Sonic guidance offers a reliable option for renal biopsy in challenging clinical scenarios.
