Abstract

The authors describe a technic for aspiration biopsy of renal tissue in man. Biopsies from two normal individuals and from five patients with various renal disorders are reported in preliminary form. At the same time determinations of discrete kidney functions were made in these patients.

The authors consider that continued studies of material removed by aspiration biopsy of the kidney may contribute materially to solution of the pathophysiologic problems of the heterogeneous group of renal diseases generally termed “lower nephron nephrosis”.

    The diagnoses and biopsy results are given in Table 2. Iversen and Brun first described the use of kidney biopsy in 1951 in children with an aspiration biopsy needle.6 Since then, the technique of kidney biopsy has evolved over the years making it safer and also improving the diagnostic yield.
