Kidney Biopsy Test Center in Bangalore

If you're experiencing unexplained kidney issues or abnormal lab reports, your doctor may recommend a kidney biopsy, a vital diagnostic test that helps uncover the root cause of your condition. At Shree Srinivasa Uro Care, we are proud to be recognized among the most trusted centers for kidney biopsy tests in Bangalore, known for our accurate diagnosis, modern infrastructure, and patient-friendly care.

What Is a Kidney Biopsy?

A kidney biopsy is a medical test where a small piece of kidney tissue is removed and studied under a microscope to check for signs of disease, damage, or infection. It helps diagnose kidney disorders, evaluate how well a transplanted kidney is functioning, or monitor disease progression.

This test is usually recommended when your kidneys are not working properly, or when your doctor needs more clarity on the cause of symptoms like blood in urine, unexplained kidney dysfunction, or persistent proteinuria.

Types of Kidney Biopsy Procedures

Depending on your condition, we may choose from two main types of biopsy procedures:

Needle Biopsy

This is the most common method. After administering local anesthesia, a thin needle is guided into the kidney, usually with the help of ultrasound or CT imaging, to collect a tissue sample.

Open Biopsy

In cases where a needle biopsy isn't suitable, an open surgical biopsy may be performed under general anesthesia. A small incision is made to access the kidney directly and extract tissue for testing.

The Biopsy Procedure – Step by Step

Here’s what you can expect during your kidney biopsy at Shree Srinivasa Uro Care:

1. Preparation

- You will change into a medical gown.

- An IV line will be set up in your arm or hand.

- You'll lie on your stomach or back, depending on the kidney being tested.

2. During the Procedure

- The biopsy site will be cleaned with an antiseptic solution.

- Local anesthesia will be used to numb the area.

- The doctor will use an ultrasound or an X-ray to guide the needle accurately.

- You'll be asked to hold your breath briefly while the sample is taken.

- You may feel a little pressure or discomfort during the process.

3. After the Procedure

- Firm pressure will be applied to the site to stop any bleeding.

- A sterile bandage will be used to cover the area.

- The tissue sample is sent to the lab for analysis, and results are usually ready in a few days.

- Most kidney biopsies are outpatient procedures, allowing you to return home the same day after a short period of observation.
