Introduction: Renal biopsy is a useful diagnostic procedure. In developing countries, two techniques of renal biopsy, blind percutaneous renal biopsy and real-time ultrasound-guided percutaneous renal biopsy, have been performed. The majority of studies compared these using different types and sizes of biopsy needle. The aim of this study was to compare both techniques in resource constraint country. Method: We reviewed renal biopsy database, between 1 January 2014 to 30 June 2017. The primary outcome was the total number of glomeruli. The other outcomes were tissue adequacy and bleeding complications. We also analyzed multivariable logistic regression to find factors associated with tissue adequacy and bleeding complications. Result: Of the 204 renal biopsies, 100 were blind percutaneous renal biopsy and 104 real-time ultrasound-guided percutaneous renal biopsy. The number of native renal biopsies was 169 (82.8%). Baseline characteristics of two groups were comparable. The mean number of total glomeruli from real-time ultrasound-guided percutaneous renal biopsy was significantly more than blind percutaneous renal biopsy (20.8 ± 12.1 vs 16.0 ± 13.0, p = 0.001). The real-time ultrasound-guided percutaneous renal biopsy obtained more adequate tissues than blind percutaneous renal biopsy (45.2% vs 16%, p < 0.001) and was the only factor associated with adequate tissue. Moreover, 16 renal biopsies from blind percutaneous renal biopsy obtained inadequate tissue. The overall bleeding complications were not statistically different. We found being female, lower eGFR and lower hematocrit were associated with bleeding complications. Conclusion: In comparison with blind percutaneous renal biopsy, real-time ultrasound-guided percutaneous renal biopsy obtained more adequate tissue and number of glomeruli. While the complications of both were comparable. We encourage to practice and perform real-time ultrasound-guided percutaneous renal biopsy in resource constraint countries.

Background: Percutaneous renal biopsy is performed for diagnosis and prediction of prognosis of renal diseases. Adequacy of tissue and clinically significant bleeding are the main issues of the procedure. We aimed to compare these issues in renal biopsy by blind and real time ultrasound guided technique.Methods: It was a cross sectional, randomized study conducted between June 2016 to December 2016. In blind technique, marking for biopsy was done by ultrasound. Two attempts were performed for all and more if tissue was inadequate. Patients kept in bed rest for 24 hours, observed for post procedure hematuria and ultrasound done at 6 hours and 24 hours to diagnose perinephric hematoma.Results: Total 75 biopsies (blind = 37 and Ultrasound -guided = 38) were evaluated. Blind and Ultrasound-guided technique had significant difference of number of attempt (mean±SD) 2.4±0.6 and 2.1±0.3 (p<0.01) respectively with no difference of number of glomeruli in light microscopy. Bleeding complications were macroscopic hematuria (11(30%)vs15(40%)) and perinephric hematoma ( 5(13.5%)vs3(7.9%)) in blind and Ultrasound-guided technique respectively with no significant difference. Those patients who developed perinephric hematoma was observed in all at 6 hours.Conclusions: Ultrasound-guided technique of percutaneous renal biopsy is superior with fewer attempts and equivalent in adequacy of tissue and bleeding complication than blind technique.

Introduction: Ultrasound guided percutaneous renal biopsy (PRB) is a relatively safe procedure; however, life threatening complications may occur even in current practice. There has been considerable decrease in the risk associated with percutaneous renal biopsy (PRB) in last few decades due to modifications in the biopsy needle as well as advancement in the image guidance. Objectives: To determine the complications and efficacy and to determine relationship between the clinical/ laboratory findings with rate of complications. Material and methods: We retrospectively evaluated hospital records of total of 150 patients who underwent PRB between September 2014 to August 2016 in the department of Radio diagnosis and Imaging at B. P. Koirala Institute of Health Sciences (BPKIHS), Dharan, Nepal. The renal biopsies had been performed with the current automated biopsy gun under real-time ultrasound guidance. The collected data were entered in MS excel. Results: In the total 150 patients, the efficacy (adequacy of the sample) of the procedure was 97.3%. The complications were seen in 13 cases (8.6 %). Five out of these complications were major with 2 cases requiring blood transfusion. The univariate analysis demonstrated the risk factors for developing complications as follows: low platelet count, prolong PT/INR, elevated Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN) and serum creatinine value and elevated systolic and diastolic blood pressure. However, elevated diastolic blood pressure and prolong PT/INR were associated with complications in multivariate logistic regression analysis. Conclusions: The percutaneous renal biopsy is the safe and efficacious procedure to establish histological diagnosis of renal parenchymal disease.

Percutaneous renal biopsy is an essential tool for diagnosing various renal diseases; however, little is known about whether renal biopsy performed by physicians with short nephrology experience is safe in Japan. This study included 238 patients who underwent percutaneous renal biopsy between April 2017 and September 2020. We retrospectively analyzed the frequency of post-renal biopsy complications (hemoglobin decrease of ≥10%, hypotension, blood transfusion, renal artery embolization, nephrectomy and death) and compared their incidence among physicians with varied experience in nephrology. After renal biopsy, a hemoglobin decrease of ≥10%, hypotension and transfusion occurred in 13.1%, 3.8% and 0.8% of patients, respectively. There were no cases of post-biopsy renal artery embolism, nephrectomy, or death. The composite complication rate was 16.0%. The incidence of post-biopsy complications was similar between physicians with ≥3 years and <3 years of clinical nephrology experience (12.5% vs. 16.8%, p = 0.64). Furthermore, the post-biopsy composite complication rates were similar between physicians with ≥6 months and <6 months of clinical nephrology experience (16.3% vs. 15.6%, p > 0.99). Under attending nephrologist supervision, a physician with short clinical nephrology experience can safely perform renal biopsy.

Ultrasound-guided percutaneous renal biopsy has been a basic tool for the diagnosis of kidney disease, but minor and major complications cannot be completely avoided. Major complications including gross hematuria, renal hematoma and arteriovenous fistula, and usually develop within 24 hours after renal biopsy. We present an educational case of female having major bleeding complications after renal biopsy with unusual clinical courses. The patient developed hypovolemic shock at 48 hours after renal biopsy along with perirenal hematoma and hemothorax.   The case highlight the need to remain the major complications in mind for physicians. Key words: Hemothorax, renal biopsy.
