Research Notes on Kidney Biopsy


A kidney biopsy, also referred to as a renal biopsy, is a diagnostic test that involves removing a small sample of kidney tissue.1 This procedure is typically done in cases of kidney failure, as a follow up to a kidney transplant or when there are large amounts of blood or protein in the urine.2 A kidney biopsy can be helpful in making a diagnosis and deciding what course of treatment is needed.3
