How is a kidney biopsey done?
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.
