Abstract

Interventional radiology plays a vital role in performing noninvasive, nonvascular genitourinary interventions. This article discusses practical aspects of the biopsy technique using the cortical tangential approach for native and transplant kidneys. Additionally, the indications, contraindications, and procedure details of the nephrostomy tube and nephroureteral placement will be reviewed.

Keywords

kidney - renal biopsy - renal mass biopsy - nephrostomy tube placement - interventional radiology
