Renal Biopsy & Procedures
Renal Biopsy & Procedures – Accurate Diagnosis and Targeted Treatment
At Shree Sugureshwara Kidney Care, we offer renal biopsy and other specialized nephrology procedures to provide precise diagnoses and treatment options for various kidney conditions. Led by Dr. Shankar Reddy Gadwal, an expert Consultant Nephrologist and Transplant Physician, our clinic ensures that patients receive high-quality, minimally invasive procedures aimed at preserving kidney function and improving outcomes.
A renal biopsy is a vital diagnostic tool used to examine kidney tissue and identify underlying causes of kidney disease, especially when the cause of kidney damage is unclear or when the condition requires further investigation. Whether you are dealing with glomerular diseases, nephrotic syndrome, acute kidney injury, or chronic kidney disease, a renal biopsy can provide crucial insights into the specific condition and guide the development of an effective treatment plan.
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.
Other Nephrology Procedures We Offer:
Permacath Insertion
For patients requiring long-term dialysis, we offer permacath insertion – a tunneled catheter placed into the body for reliable dialysis access. This procedure is performed under local anesthesia with minimal discomfort and ensures a secure and long-lasting dialysis access point.Dialysis Access Management
We provide comprehensive management of dialysis access, including the creation and maintenance of arteriovenous fistulas (AVF) and grafts, which are essential for effective hemodialysis.Ultrasound-Guided Procedures
For accurate diagnosis and treatment, we perform ultrasound-guided procedures for kidney biopsies, fluid drainage, and other nephrology-related interventions, ensuring minimal invasiveness and maximum safety.
