Appointment Helpline
A renal biopsy is a medical procedure that involves the removal of a small piece of kidney from the body for exhaustive examination, generally carried out under a microscope. The microscopic examination of the tissue can provide information required for diagnosis, monitoring or treating disorders of the kidney. A renal biopsy can be performed for removing a particular lesion, such as a tumour arising from the kidney. This procedure is called targeted renal biopsy. However, renal biopsy is widely performed as non-targeted procedure as the medical conditions affecting the kidney generally involve all kidney tissues.
The procedure is mainly performed for detecting cancer but it is also highly effective in confirming or detecting other forms of kidney diseases. It can be performed via minimally invasive methods. However, in some cases, a surgical biopsy may be recommended for identifying the right areas for sampling. Book an appointment at Nephrology Hospital in Vijayawada to know more about Renal Biopsy.
