Ultrasound guided percutaneous renal biopsy.
Percutaneous renal biopsy is a useful tool in the diagnosis and prognostication of the medical renal diseases. The ultrasonography helps in accurately localising the site of renal biopsy as well as in detecting contra-indications like polycystic disease, solitary kidney and hydronephrosis, etc. In this series of 100 consecutive cases of ultrasound guided renal biopsy, the success rate was 99% and reasonably good length of renal tissues were obtained in 97% cases.
