ABSTRACT
Introduction: percutaneous renal biopsy is a key element in the management of the
chronic kidney disease in addition to having great value in the evaluation of acute
kidney dysfunction and in making prognoses.
Objective: to identify the indications for percutaneos renal biopsy of native kidney in
the Nephrology Institute from 1988 to 2007; the related complications, the diagnoses
and their relationship with the form of presentation of the renal disease through a
descriptive cross-sectional study.
Methods: primary data for this research work were gathered from the biopsy form.
All the renal biopsies performed during the study years followed the Pathological
Anatomy Department protocol. The statistical package SPSS 22.0 was used for data
processing. Frequency distribution analysis, averages and standard deviation were
used in the quantitative variables whereas the independence test served to identify
possible associations of variables.
Results: the average age of patients was 35.9 years. In the group, 49.6 % were
men. Fifty nine patients presented (3.9 %) presented with complications, mainly
bleeding. Nephrotic syndrome (47 %) and nephritic syndrome (11.2 %) were the
most common indications for biopsy. Glomerular diseases (91.3 %) predominated and
primary glomerulopathies prevailed among them (75.3 %). The most common
diagnoses were focal and segmental glomerulosclerosis (20.6 %) and mesangial
proliferative glomerulopathy (16.8 %).
Conclusions: the most common indication of percutaneous renal biopsy is the
nephrotic syndrome whereas the most frequent complication is bleeding. The usual
diagnoses were focal and segmental glomerulosclerosis, mesangial proliferative
glomerulopathy and lupus nephritis.
