Abstract
The percutaneous kidney biopsy is an important skill in nephrology practice. Evidence-based material specifically discussing the procedural steps of a kidney biopsy is lacking. This article outlines the technical process and peri-procedural management of ultrasound-guided percutaneous kidney biopsy and is intended to serve as a useful and practical resource for nephrology trainees and consultants.
