title: [Experience with conducting transcutaneous kidney biopsy in a cardiology clinic].
abstract: The analysis of 450 closed puncture biopsies of the kidneys permits to conclude that the employment of this method in a cardiological hospital provides rather valuable information on the state of the renal tissue in cases of various diseases entailing the arterial hypertension syndrome. The incidations for kidney biopsy include arterial hypertension, developing against the background of the nephrotic syndrome of varying genesis, clinically distinct glomerulonephritis (to precise its morphological variant), various forms of renovascular hypertension, and in some cases -- hypertensive form of pyelonephritis. Important complications such as macrohematuria and pararenal haematoma were observed in 25 cases. The employment of kidney biopsy in a cardiological clinic helped to make the diagnosis of the lesion underlying arterial hypertension, to choose the adequate method of treatment and to improve the prognosis of the disease.
