Area of Science:

  • Nephrology
  • Medical Imaging
  • Surgical Procedures

Background:

  • Percutaneous renal biopsy is crucial for diagnosing kidney diseases.
  • Accurate localization of the kidney is essential for successful biopsy.
  • Minimizing complications during renal biopsy is a primary concern.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of ultrasonography for guiding percutaneous renal biopsies.
  • To assess the diagnostic yield and complication rates associated with this technique.

Main Methods:

  • One hundred fifty percutaneous renal biopsies were performed.
  • Ultrasonography was utilized to precisely localize the target biopsy site and depth in the left kidney's lower pole.
  • Renal tissue acquisition and histopathological diagnosis were assessed.

Main Results:

  • Successful renal tissue acquisition was achieved in 95% of procedures.
  • An accurate histopathological diagnosis was obtained in 89% of patients.
  • Gross hematuria occurred in 6% of cases, typically resolving spontaneously; no other complications were noted.

Conclusions:

  • Ultrasonographic marking is a quick, simple, and accurate method for kidney localization during biopsy.
  • This technique is safe, with a low incidence of transient gross hematuria and no other reported complications.
  • Ultrasonography enhances the reliability and safety of percutaneous renal biopsies.
