What Is a Kidney Biopsy?
A kidney biopsy is a diagnostic procedure in which a small sample of kidney tissue is removed using a fine needle. This sample is then examined under a microscope to diagnose various kidney conditions such as glomerulonephritis, kidney infections, or cancer. By providing a definitive diagnosis, the biopsy helps guide your treatment plan effectively.
Pre-Operative Procedures
- Imaging Studies:
We conduct thorough imaging tests such as ultrasound or CT scans to accurately locate the kidney and determine the optimal biopsy site.
- Blood Tests:
Comprehensive blood tests, including coagulation profiles, ensure that you are in the best condition for a safe procedure. - Medication Adjustments:
To minimize the risk of bleeding, patients are advised to temporarily stop blood thinners prior to the procedure. - Informed Consent:
Our team explains the risks and benefits in detail, ensuring you fully understand the procedure before giving your consent.
The Kidney Biopsy Procedure
During the procedure, a fine needle is carefully inserted into the kidney under the guidance of real-time imaging (ultrasound or CT). A small tissue sample is then collected for laboratory analysis, ensuring an accurate diagnosis with minimal invasiveness.
Post-Operative Care & Recovery
- Observation Period:
After the biopsy, you will be monitored for several hours to ensure there are no complications such as bleeding. - Pain Management:
Mild discomfort is managed with over-the-counter pain medications, ensuring your comfort post-procedure. - Rest:
Patients are advised to rest and avoid strenuous activities for one to two days following the procedure. - Follow-Up:
A follow-up appointment is scheduled to discuss your biopsy results and address any concerns or complications promptly.
