Objectives: To determine the usefulness of ultrasound in performing renal biopsy puncture at the Hospital de Clinicas of the Faculty of Medical Sciences of the National University of Asunción, to determine demographic data, the number of punctures performed, the number of glomeruli obtained, the histopathological di- agnoses and the complications.
Materials and mthods: 47 renal biopsies performed with automatic needles and ultrasound guidance using the angled cortical tangential technique at the Hospital de Clínicas were reviewed. Patient data were obtained through a questionnaire that was completed by reviewing the medical records of each patient with an indication for renal biopsy puncture.
Results: Sufficient histological material was obtained to establish a diagnosis in 47 out of 47 biopsies (100%). Complications were detected in 3 out of 47 biopsies (6%) and all of them were minor complications.
Conclusion: Percutaneous renal biopsy performed with ultrasound guidance and the cortical tangential technique is a good alternative, given its effectiveness and safety, for obtaining histological samples of the kidney.
