Abstract
The results of 91 sonically guided renal biopsies are reported. In the 53 cases where renal size and function allowed other localization techniques, renal tissue was obtained in 100 percent and glomeruli in 88.6 percent. In 38 cases no other techniques could have been used because of poor renal function (serum creatinine ≥ 4.0 mg/dl) and/or decreased renal size (≤ 10 cm); in these biopsies renal tissue was obtained in 86.8 percent and glomeruli in 73.7 percent.Keywords
