In 78 cases (89.7%) enough renal tissue was obtained for histological analysis. Acute rejection was present on 35 biopsies (40.3%) indicating antirejection therapy. No pathological signs of rejection were detected on 43 biopsies (49.4%). In 38 instances (43.7%) biopsy diagnosis differed from clinical presumptive diagnosis, affecting patient management, while in the remainder it was helpful to confirm clinical impressions. The only complication of the procedure was gross hematuria (requiring vesical irrigation in 1 patient). Due to its simplicity and low morbidity rate, renal biopsy with the automated needle system is the procedure of choice for evaluation and management of renal allograft dysfunction. © 1993 by The American Urological Association Education and Research, Inc.FiguresReferencesRelatedDetails Volume 150Issue 2 Part 1August 1993Page: 313-315 Advertisement Copyright & Permissions© 1993 by The American Urological Association Education and Research, Inc.Keywordskidney transplantationtransplantation, homologousbiopsy, needleMetricsAuthor Information William Carlos Nahas Current address: Al.
