Precision Diagnosis at RENACARE

A kidney biopsy is a vital diagnostic procedure that helps uncover the root cause of kidney diseases. At RENACARE Kidney Care, we offer both native kidney biopsies and graft (transplant) kidney biopsies, performed under ultrasound guidance by experienced nephrologists using state-of-the-art techniques.

If you're experiencing unexplained kidney issues or if your transplant kidney is showing signs of dysfunction, a biopsy can provide the answers — safely, quickly, and accurately.

What is a Kidney Biopsy?

A kidney biopsy involves removing a small tissue sample from the kidney using a thin needle. The sample is then analysed under a microscope to diagnose the exact nature and severity of kidney disease.

Types of Kidney Biopsies We Offer:

• Native Kidney Biopsy

Used for patients with their original (non-transplanted) kidneys.

Common indications:

• Unexplained proteinuria or hematuria

• Acute or chronic kidney failure

• Suspected glomerulonephritis or nephrotic syndrome

Graft (Transplant) Kidney Biopsy

• Used for kidney transplant recipients to detect:

• Early signs of rejection

• Drug toxicity

• Recurrent or new kidney disease

• Unexplained graft dysfunction

How the Procedure Works:

• Done under ultrasound or CT guidance for maximum accuracy

• Local anaesthetics are used; typically, no general anaesthesia is required

• Usually takes 20–30 minutes

• Patient observed for a few hours post-procedure; often same-day discharge
