A kidney biopsy is a medical procedure in which a small sample of kidney tissue is collected for examination under a microscope. It helps diagnose the underlying cause of kidney disease, assess the extent of damage, and guide treatment decisions. Kidney biopsies are essential for conditions such as unexplained proteinuria, hematuria, or rapidly declining kidney function. The procedure is generally safe when performed by experienced specialists, with careful monitoring before and after to ensure patient safety.

• Diagnosis: Identifies the type and severity of kidney disease.
• Treatment guidance: Helps determine the most effective therapy.
• Monitoring disease progression: Evaluates kidney damage over time.
• Safety: Performed under imaging guidance with post-procedure monitoring.
