Is Kidney Puncture Harmful To The Body

Renal puncture is an invasive procedure with some risks, but overall the advantages of renal puncture outweigh the disadvantages. The main purpose of renal puncture is to clarify diagnosis and guide treatment, and the clinical significance of renal puncture is different for different patients.

Renal puncture has the greatest clinical significance when it is helpful for both diagnosis and treatment, such as adult nephrotic syndrome. Although the clinical diagnosis of some patients is basically clear, renal puncture can further classify the disease. For example, whether nephrotic syndrome is caused by micropathological nephropathy or membranous nephropathy, such further pathological diagnosis is very helpful for the treatment of patients.

In some patients, the diagnosis is clear, such as lupus nephritis, but renal puncture can be used to further pathologic classification, such as diffuse proliferative 'lesions' or membranous lesions caused by lupus nephritis, so its treatment and prognosis are also different.

The main risk of renal puncture is bleeding. Patients may develop gross hematuria or perirenal hematoma after surgery, but this risk is very low as long as the adaptive signs are well understood and preoperative preparations are made.

Renal aspiration is also called renal biopsy. Renal aspiration is very important. It is the most accurate test for renal disease in clinic. For example, many clinical patients appear hematuria or refractory proteinuria, do not know what causes.

These patients had kidney biopsies, and through kidney biopsies, first of all, we could identify the type of disease and make a clear diagnosis; Secondly, it can guide the next treatment, such as the occurrence of crescent body or abnormal lesion activity in the pathological changes, hormone or immunosuppressive therapy can be carried out, and the prognosis of the patient can be preliminarily judged. Therefore, kidney biopsy is very important.

However, renal biopsy is an invasive examination and some complications can occur, such as hematuria, the most common, followed by perirenal hematoma, and arteriovenous fistula in some patients. However, with the continuous improvement of technology and medical level, the incidence of the above complications is very small, so kidney biopsy is very safe.
