    Area of Science:

    • Nephrology
    • Medical Imaging
    • Surgical Procedures

    Background:

    • Renal biopsy is a critical diagnostic procedure for kidney diseases.
    • Accurate localization of the kidney is essential for safe and effective biopsy.
    • Minimizing complications requires precise needle placement.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the utility of B-scan ultrasound for pre-biopsy kidney localization.
    • To assess the feasibility and success rate of renal biopsy using ultrasound guidance.
    • To compare ultrasound-guided localization with other established methods.

    Main Methods:

    • B-scan ultrasound was employed in 30 patients to visualize and outline the kidney.
    • Longitudinal and transverse planes were used to determine kidney dimensions and depth.
    • The puncture site and needle trajectory angle were determined based on ultrasound findings.

    Main Results:

    • Renal biopsy was successfully performed in 28 out of 30 patients (93.3% success rate).
    • Ultrasound provided accurate localization, enabling precise needle insertion.
    • The method demonstrated favorable outcomes compared to alternative localization techniques.

    Conclusions:

    • B-scan ultrasound is a reliable and effective tool for localizing the kidney before biopsy.
    • This imaging modality simplifies the procedure and improves biopsy success rates.
    • Ultrasound guidance offers a valuable alternative for renal biopsy localization.
