391Open Journal of Nephrology factors for deglobulization found in our patients were: hyperuremia 80.6% (p: 0.017), acute renal failure 77.8% (p: 0.04), acute hemodialysis 24.7% (p: 0.02), hyperphosphatemia 63.6% (0.04). Conclusion: Renal biopsies are an overall safe procedure with rare major complications. Post-renal biopsy deglobulization is common. Routine post-biopsy ultrasound may not be necessary. Renal biopsies can be performed safely if risk factors are controlled, such as renal failure, hyperuremia, hyperphosphatemia, hemodialysis patients and a diagnosis of lupus nephropathy.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
