title: Percutaneous renal biopsy with localization by retrograde pyelography.
abstract: We describe the use of retrograde pyelography for renal localization during percutaneous biopsy in 6 patients. Since we have had no major complications with this procedure and have obtained adequate tissue in all cases we conclude that this method of localization for renal biopsy is the procedure of choice in the severely uremic patient.
