What Is the Safe Observation Period Following Image‐Guided Percutaneous Renal Biopsies?
The vast majority of complications after targeted and non-targeted renal biopsies tend to occur within the first 2 h of observation. Complications that occurred after 2 h observation were often pain related, something that can be overcome with a standardised post-operative analgesic regime. It may be possible to safely reduce observation times following image-guided targeted renal biopsies.
