Handbook of Renal Biopsy Pathology (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781632416599)

Renal biopsy is a form of medical procedure in which a small piece of kidney is extracted from the body for examination. The examination is usually done under a microscope. It helps in the diagnosis, monitoring and the treatment of kidney problems. Renal biopsy is commonly used in those cases where other less invasive tests are insufficient. Haematuria, proteinuria, kidney failure or kidney tumor are some of the common cases in which a renal biopsy is performed. An ultrasound is usually performed before the biopsy to assess the current structure, position and condition of the kidneys. A nephrologist or interventional radiologist is the one who supervises and performs a renal biopsy. This book contains some path-breaking studies in the field of renal biopsy. It will also provide interesting topics for research which interested readers can take up. Those in search of information to further their knowledge will be greatly assisted by this book.
