Abstract Background and Aims Safety of kidney biopsy is variably reported in different published series. Since 2014, all native biopsies undertaken the 9 adult renal units Scotland have been recorded by Scottish Renal Registry (SRR) since 2015 transplant were included. In this complete national dataset, we report data on safety a current real world setting. Method Major complications are using ...

End-stage renal disease-stage 5 chronic kidney disease (CKD)-of the native kidneys, related to biopsy-proven Arndt-Gottron scleromyxoedema, developed in a male patient. From 1998 until 2001, the patient was treated by haemodialysis. In June 2001, cadaveric kidney transplantation was performed. In January 2004, a kidney biopsy was performed because of deteriorating renal function revealing relap...

We report a 42-year-old woman with underlying hypertension, mild renal dysfunction and proteinuria who presented as an obstetric emergency with uncontrolled hypertension and nephrotic syndrome. The rapid deterioration in her kidney function and worsening of her symptoms led to an urgent termination of her twin pregnancy. Although a clinical improvement was noticed within 10 days, the persistent...

INTRODUCTION Percutaneous renal biopsy (PRB) is a decisive diagnostic procedure for children and adolescents with renal diseases. Aim of this study was to evaluate retrospectively the complication rates of percutaneous kidney biopsies and their therapeutic consequences to assess the role of ultrasound-guidance including Doppler ultrasound examinations in preparation, execution and follow-up car...

a male patient with acute renal failure (arf) due to large b-cell non-hodgkin lymphoma infiltration of kidney is presented. the diagnosis was suspected because of coincidence of arf and tumor lysis syndrome non-responsive to conservative renal therapies. a renal biopsy confirmed diagnosis and appropriate chemotherapy led to complete improvement of renal function.

BACKGROUND Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common medical problem among kidney transplant recipients, which may cause a significant impact on patient and allograft survival. Currently, an allograft biopsy remains the 'gold standard' for assessing the cause of impaired kidney function. Limitations of the allograft biopsy include the risk of bleeding, injury to the adjacent viscera, and the possib...

UNLABELLED Antiphospholipid syndrome nephropathy (APSN) is now a well recognized vaso-occlusive renal lesion associated with acute thrombosis and chronic arterial and arteriolar lesions, leading to zones of cortical ischemic atrophy. Our objective was to evaluate the prevalence and clinical significance of APSN in patients with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE). METHODS Kidney biopsy specime...
