Abstract

transfusion. The incidence of complications, adequacy of biopsy sample as per the Banff criteria and need for hopitalization in day care group were analyzed. Results: There was no difference in adequacy of the sample size between the two groups. Minor complications including visible hematuria, perinephric hematoma and pain needing analgesia were similar in two groups(2.4% in hospitalized and 2.1% in day care patients). No major complications were observed in day care patients. Perinephric collection requiring blood product transfusion was observed in two patients in hospitalization group. One patient needed hospitalization after biopsy in view of increasing pain needing prolonged analgesia. Conclusions: Allograft renal biopsy can be done safely as day care procedure by an experienced nephrologist.
