“…The kidney is situated more caudally on the right side than on the left mainly because the liver intervenes and occupies most of the right hypochondrium (Frimann-Dahl, 1961). In this study the left kidney was at a higher level than the right in 94 % of cases.…”

“…The previous studies have suggested that irregularity of contour occurs more commonly on the left side. 26,27 A single local lump occurs most commonly on lateral border. 27 In our case, it was right kidney which was having three well-defined lobes.…”

The congenital anomalies of kidney are not uncommon. The incidence of renal anomalies varies from 1:400 for horseshoe kidney to 1:10,000 for bilateral renal agenesis. The most of this available data is from western populations. Little or no data is available on incidence of renal anomalies in Indian population. Our objective was to determine the incidence of congenital renal anomalies in Indian population. A retrospective analysis of observations made from 1,900 consecutive autopsies for presence of congenital renal anomalies was done. In 1,900 autopsies, there were nine cases of congenitally anomalous kidneys (42%). These anomalies included three cases of horseshoe kidney (16%), two cases of extrarenal calyces (12%), and one each of renal ectopia with fusion, trilobar kidney, polycystic kidney and unilateral renal agenesis. The incidence of renal anomalies in Indian population is relatively less as compared to their western counterparts.

“…The day of intervention, the patients underwent a second ultrasonography with color Doppler study to assess the position of the inferior pole of the left kidney on the lumbar plane, its depth from the skin and the best angle to approach it. The left kidney is generally preferred to the right one due to its thickness at the caudal end and the absence of the liver hindrance (4,5). Patient is then get in prone position or on the right side, in case of supine anterolateral position (SALP) (4), if obese.…”

Introduction: Freehand renal biopsy represents a valid alternative to the most widespread ultrasonography-guided technique, although some concerns can derive from the possible increased complication rate and lower adequacy rate. Objectives: In the present audit study, efficacy of freehand method have been established through the analysis of 328 consecutive renal biopsies in 322 patients, instead the safety of the procedure was assessed in 196 patients. Patients and Methods: We retrospectively reviewed hospital databases of all patients who underwent a percutaneous renal biopsy over an 18 years’ period at Santa Marta and Santa Venera hospital in Acireale. Results: The procedure led to a definitive diagnosis in the majority of cases (98.48%), being uninformative only in 5 out of 328 cases (1.52%). Comparing these results against a Proforma, resulting from analysis of best literature reports for the items studied, adverse event rates were similar. Conclusion: Freehand renal biopsy resulted a good option to obtain renal tissue, without serious side effects. We argue about safety and we prefer to reserve this invasive procedure to selected cases, avoiding renal biopsy if biochemical and instrumental data allow a definitive diagnosis as well as in high risk patients. Our policy protects patients from the adverse effects that can result from kidney biopsy.
