Transjugular renal biopsy

Transjugular renal biopsy is a minimally invasive procedure used to obtain kidney tissue samples for diagnosis. It involves inserting a thin tube into a vein in the neck, using imaging guidance to access the kidney. This method is particularly useful for patients with significant medical conditions that make traditional biopsies risky. The collected tissue helps doctors identify various kidney diseases and determine the best treatment options. It’s a valuable tool in interventional nephrology, merging imaging techniques with kidney care to improve patient outcomes.
