Renal biopsy is an invasive procedure that is necessary for the diagnosis of intrinsic renal diseases, providing crucial information about the prognosis and activity of the renal disease. Formerly, this procedure was exclusive to nephrologists, but currently it is also performed by interventional radiologists, which has somewhat shifted the role of the nephrologist. Obtaining an adequate sample is crucial in determining the diagnosis and possible treatment that the patient will receive, as well as anticipating potential associated complications, including pain, hematuria, hematoma, among others.
