A kidney biopsy is a diagnostic procedure performed to obtain a small sample of kidney tissue for examination under a microscope. This procedure is typically recommended when a patient presents with abnormal kidney function, unexplained proteinuria (protein in the urine), hematuria (blood in the urine), or other signs of kidney disease. A kidney biopsy helps nephrologists and pathologists accurately diagnose the underlying cause of kidney abnormalities and determine the most appropriate treatment plan.
During a kidney biopsy, a local anesthetic is administered to numb the skin over the biopsy site, usually in the lower back. Using imaging guidance, such as ultrasound or CT scan, a thin biopsy needle is inserted through the skin and into the kidney to retrieve a small tissue sample. The procedure is performed under sterile conditions to minimize the risk of infection and complications.
At DS Dialysis Center, our skilled nephrologists and interventional radiologists perform kidney biopsies with precision and expertise.
Following the biopsy, the kidney tissue sample is examined by pathologists to identify specific abnormalities, such as inflammation, infection, autoimmune disorders, or structural kidney damage.
