The results are normal if no abnormalities can be seen in the tissue samples with the naked eye, with an electron microscope or through staining with a fluorescent dye (immunofluorescence).
The test reveals normal kidney function for age and medical situation.

The appropriate CPT procedure code for a percutaneous kidney biopsy using a trocar is 55040. This code specifically refers to a percutaneous kidney biopsy, which is performed to obtain kidney tissue for diagnostic purposes. It is important to ensure that the documentation supports the use of this code, including details about the procedure and the patient's condition.

It simply means the kidney surface or cortex appeared abnormal - you will need a kidney biopsy to see what this actually means.
Use CPT 50200 for needle biopsy of the kidney and CPT 77012 for the computed tomography.
A kidney biopsy is typically performed using a procedure called percutaneous biopsy, where a thin needle is inserted through the skin and into the kidney to obtain a small tissue sample. The procedure is usually guided by ultrasound or CT imaging to ensure accuracy. Local anesthesia is administered to minimize discomfort, and the sample is then sent to a laboratory for analysis. In some cases, a surgical biopsy may be necessary, which involves making a small incision to access the kidney directly.
The procedure of draining blood from the kidney is called a renal biopsy. It involves removing a small sample of kidney tissue for analysis and diagnosis.
