    Abstract:
    UNLABELLED: The aim of this work was to discuss the results of percutaneous renal biopsy under control of ultrasound, using automated needle. 110 specimen in 55 children aged 3-18 years were obtained. Adequate biopsy was obtained in 53 children. Only in 26% of children the number of glomeruli in each specimen was below 8. The most frequent complication was microscopic haematuria, lasted 1-3 days, which was shown in 70.9% of children. Perirenal haematoma smaller than 2 cm was observed in about 12% of children and pain during the first day after biopsy in 20% of examined children. CONCLUSION: Percutaneous renal biopsy using automated biopsy needle under control of ultrasound is safe and efficient method, which is used for definitive diagnosis.
