A kidney biopsy helps diagnose kidney diseases by examining tissue samples. Learn its indications, preparation steps, procedure details, and what to expect afterward.

A kidney biopsy is a diagnostic procedure used to assess kidney diseases by extracting a small tissue sample for examination. It is indicated for unexplained kidney problems, blood or protein in urine, or monitoring kidney transplant health. The biopsy helps diagnose conditions like glomerulonephritis, lupus nephritis, and kidney infections. While it provides crucial insights for treatment planning, complications may include bleeding, infection, or pain at the biopsy site. However, the procedure is generally safe when performed by an experienced specialist.
