Ultrasound-guided percutaneous renal biopsy at a university hospital: retrospective analysis of success and complication rates

Abstract: Objective: To evaluate the success and complication rates of ultrasound-guided renal biopsy at a tertiary care hospital. Materials and Methods: This was a retrospective analysis of 97 ultrasound-guided renal biopsies, all performed by the same radiologist, between 1 March, 2017 and 31 October, 2019. Results: Of the 97 biopsies evaluated, 87 had a definitive pathological diagnosis. In five cases (5.4%), the biopsy results were inconclusive and a second procedure was required. In seven procedures (7.6%), there… Show more

“…The distribution pattern of Ig-A antibodies in immunofluorescence with positivity in the capillary loops along the glomerular basement membrane, tubular membrane, and Bowman's capsule reflects the distribution of the a1/a2 (IV) collagen chains, which are the targets of the antibodies in this atypical presentation of anti-GBM disease (7,8). The use of renal biopsy contributes to both the diagnosis and prognosis of the disease; however, when there is a strong suspicion of RPGN, biopsy should be indicated and carried out as soon as possible, and specific treatment instituted regardless of whether biopsy is carried out (18).…”
