Renal Biopsy

Renal Biopsy in Bangalore

A renal biopsy is a procedure performed to aid in diagnosing kidney problems, primarily cancer of the kidneys, that cannot be otherwise identified. It is also effective in detecting or confirming other forms of kidney disease and the extent of damage. Biopsies can evaluate the effectiveness of ongoing kidney disease treatment, monitor the health of a transplanted kidney, or investigate complications with its functionality. Only some patients experiencing these issues require a kidney biopsy, as the decision is based on a comprehensive assessment of signs and symptoms, test results, and overall health.

Your doctor may perform a renal biopsy based on blood and urine test results if the test reports indicate blood and elevated protein levels or waste products in the blood. The diagnostic procedure is routinely done through minimally invasive methods, although sometimes a surgical biopsy may be needed to identify the right area for sampling. A small piece of the affected kidney is extracted by guiding a needle, sometimes using imaging techniques. The microscopic examination of the tissue in the laboratory provides reports that help diagnose, monitor, or treat kidney diseases. Your doctor will formulate a treatment plan based on the test reports and diagnosis. You may experience a slight soreness following the procedure.
