Safety and utility of kidney biopsy in patients with estimated glomerular filtration rate < 30 ml/min/1.73 m2

Abstract: AimKidney biopsy (KBx) is the gold standard for evaluation of kidney disease, but is associated with a higher risk of complications in patients with reduced glomerular filtration rate (GFR). We studied the safety and utility of KBx in patients with eGFR <30 ml/min/1.73 m2.MethodsConsecutive adult patients with eGFR <30 ml/min/1.73 m2, who were planned for a KBx and consented to participate were prospectively enrolled. Patients with solitary/transplant kidney or acute kidney injury were excluded. Haemoglo… Show more

“…The role of anemia is debated because anemia can lead to more frequent blood transfusions unrelated to bleeding [21 ▪ ]. A recent report highlighted the fact that low glomerular filtration was associated with more frequent bleeding complications, and kidney biopsy seemed less useful in these patients [22].…”
