Kidney Biopsy
Kidney Biopsy Treatment in Salt lake
A kidney biopsy involves the removal of one or more small pieces from the kidneys (samples) so that they can be examined under a special microscope. The samples may be taken either directly from the kidneys during surgery (open biopsy) or through the skin with the help of a needle that is guided towards the right place in the kidneys with ultrasound (percutaneous biopsy).
Why is a Kidney Biopsy Recommended?
A kidney biopsy is recommended to diagnose a suspected kidney disorder. It may also be recommended to determine the severity of a kidney problem or to monitor treatment for a diagnosed kidney disorder. Besides, this procedure is also performed to determine the issue which is affecting the functioning of a transplanted kidney.
