Technical and Institutional Factors Affecting Specimen Adequacy and Complications in Ultrasound-guided Kidney Biopsy: A Retrospective Cohort Study
The technical and institutional interventions implemented significantly improved specimen adequacy and reduced complication rates in ultrasound-guided kidney biopsies. We have added to these recommendations in that we have refined the requirement for angling the biopsy needle for ease of use and suggest limiting the number of passes to 2 or 3 whenever possible.
