Accurate Diagnosis and Targeted Treatment
Renal Biopsy Services
Percutaneous Renal Biopsy
This is the most common method for obtaining kidney tissue. A needle is inserted through the skin, guided by ultrasound or CT imaging, to collect small samples of kidney tissue for analysis. It is minimally invasive and performed under local anesthesia, allowing for quick recovery.Indications for Renal Biopsy
Dr. Shankar Reddy Gadwal may recommend a renal biopsy in cases where:- There is unexplained kidney dysfunction or abnormal lab results (e.g., proteinuria, hematuria).
- The patient has rapidly progressing kidney disease or a history of glomerular diseases.
- There are signs of nephrotic syndrome, glomerulonephritis, or autoimmune kidney diseases.
- Kidney transplant recipients may need a biopsy to monitor for rejection or other complications.
Biopsy Procedure and Aftercare
The renal biopsy procedure is performed with precision to minimize discomfort and risk. After the procedure, patients are monitored for a few hours to ensure there are no complications such as bleeding or infection. Post-procedure care includes rest, hydration, and follow-up visits to ensure proper healing.Histopathological Analysis
Once the kidney tissue is obtained, it is sent to a laboratory for histopathological analysis. This analysis helps identify the type of kidney disease (e.g., glomerulonephritis, diabetic nephropathy, IgA nephropathy) and guides treatment decisions.
