Main Uses
The primary purposes and applicable scenarios for a kidney biopsy (肾脏穿刺活检) include: 1. Diagnosing the cause of acute or chronic kidney disease, 2. Determining the extent and type of kidney damage, 3. Guiding treatment decisions, 4. Monitoring the progression of kidney disease, 5. Evaluating the effectiveness of treatment, 6. Assessing the suitability for kidney transplantation.
Normal Range
The normal range for a kidney biopsy (肾脏穿刺活检) is not defined by specific numerical values but rather by the absence of significant pathological findings. Common indicators include: no evidence of glomerular, tubular, or interstitial disease; normal vascular structures; and no signs of inflammation or scarring.
Low Values - Possible Causes
Low values or underactivity in a kidney biopsy context typically refers to insufficient tissue sample or non-specific findings. Possible causes include: 1. Inadequate sampling, 2. Early stage of disease, 3. Technical issues during the procedure, 4. Focal lesions missed by the biopsy, 5. Normal kidney function with no underlying pathology.
High Values - Possible Causes
High values or overactivity in a kidney biopsy usually indicate the presence of abnormal findings. Possible causes include: 1. Glomerulonephritis, 2. Interstitial nephritis, 3. Tubulointerstitial diseases, 4. Vascular diseases such as vasculitis, 5. Nephrotic syndrome.
