Prognostic Factors for Complications Following Ultrasound-Guided Percutaneous Kidney Biopsy: A 7-Year Retrospective Study.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Ultrasound-guided percutaneous kidney biopsy is a key diagnostic tool, but it carries a risk of complications. This study aimed to evaluate complication rates and identify associated clinical and procedural factors.

Methods

This retrospective study analyzed 627 patients who underwent ultrasound-guided percutaneous kidney biopsy between January 2013 and December 2019. Logistic regression models were used to assess associations between complications and potential risk factors, adjusting for demographics, clinical characteristics, and procedural variables.

Results

Complications occurred in 75% of patients, with hematoma (69.7%) being the most frequent, followed by pain (14.5%). Older age (adjusted odds ratio [OR], 0.99; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.97-1;
