Percutaneous Ultrasound-Guided Renal Biopsy in Greek Children: 15 Years of Experience at a Single Center
This report is the first review of pathohistological data covering a pediatric population over a 15-year period in Greece and one of the largest in southeastern Europe, especially in the Balkan region. The main indication for a PRB was nephritic syndrome; however, MCD was the main histological diagnosis. This study emphasis the fact that PRBs constitute a safe and reliable method of diagnostic approach to kidney diseases in childhood and offers important information on therapeutic approaches as well as the prognosis of these patients.
