Overview

Retrospective study compares glomerular yield and complications in renal biopsy techniques, indicating safety and efficiency of both methods.

Key Points

  • This study aims to compare the safety and efficiency of free-hand and puncture attachment methods in ultrasound-guided percutaneous renal biopsy.
  • Retrospective, single-center study with 110 patients undergoing ultrasound-guided percutaneous renal biopsy.
  • Patients divided into free-hand or puncture attachment groups based on the used technique.
  • Postoperative complications and glomerular yield assessed for both approaches.
  • No significant difference in glomerular yield between free-hand (number not specified) and puncture attachment groups.
  • Three patients experienced postoperative complications: gross hematuria, perinephric hematoma, and transient fever.
  • Overall rates of hematuria were similar after both biopsy techniques.
