Patient's question:
I don't know what's going on, but my child has been misbehaving and crying non-stop lately. Even the hospital check-ups haven't helped. Can you please tell me if kidney biopsy is harmful to the kidneys?Doctor's answer:
Not much harm, just a small amount of kidney tissue is involved. However, you need to tell me what symptoms you currently have to determine if you are suitable for kidney puncture. Suggestions: Generally, kidney puncture is suitable only if the urine protein is 3+ or higher, and both kidneys are of normal size with no issues in the blood test. Otherwise, it is either dangerous or unnecessary. Go to the Nephrology Department.
