A 23-year-old Japanese woman was admitted with asymptomatic proteinuria and hematuria. An ultrasound-assisted percutaneous renal biopsy was performed.

Localized kidney uptake of bone imaging agent following renal irradiation

A 14 years old girl, with documented Ewing's sarcoma, was treated by both chemotherapy and surgery. An initial bone scan (TC-99m-MI)I*) did not reveal a renal lesion. However, following therapeutic irradiation, there was retention of the bone imaging agent in a portion of the kidney that had been included in the radiation field. This reflected the effects of radiation related parenchymal ...

Bilateral pneumothorax following percutaneous renal biopsy.

The latest innovation has focused on more accurate localization of the kidney by ultrasound localization prior to biopsy. From a large series published in the literature it appears that renal biopsy is almost without risk. How...
