Kidney Biopsy Guide: Purpose, Indications, Procedure and Complications

PACE Hospitals

Listen to

A little sample of kidney tissue is removed for microscopic examination during a kidney biopsy. It aids in diagnosing several kidney conditions, including infections, tumours, and glomerular diseases.


The procedure is typically performed when there is uncertainty about the cause of kidney dysfunction or when other tests haven't provided sufficient information. Under local anaesthesia, this minimally invasive technique is usually carried out through the skin or, in certain situations, the urethra. 


In this episode of the Kidney Biopsy Podcast, we will discuss what the procedure entails, why it's needed, how it's performed, and what the results can reveal about your kidney health.


Join our PACE Hospitals Podcast episode with Dr A Kishore Kumar, Consultant Nephrologist and Kidney Transplant Physician at PACE Hospitals, Hitech City, Hyderabad, India, as we delve into everything you need to know about Kidney Biopsy — from preparation to aftercare — ensuring you understand the procedure and its role in preserving kidney function.
