Safety of Obtaining an Extra Biobank Kidney Biopsy Core.

ABSTRACT:

Background and objectives

Kidney biopsy (KB) is the "gold standard" for the diagnosis of nephropathies and it is a diagnostic tool that presents a low rate of complications. Nowadays, biobank collections of renal tissue of patients with proven renal pathology are essential for research in nephrology. To provide enough tissue for the biobank collection, it is usually needed to obtain an extra kidney core at the time of kidney biopsy. The objective of our study is to evaluate the complications after KB and to analyze whether obtaining an extra core increases the risk of complications.
