Therefore, it is necessary to understand what to pay attention to before kidney biopsy.

What does kidney biopsy mean

Kidney function biopsy refers to kidney biopsy, which is used to understand the actual pathological structure and pathological damage of kidney function through this examination, and provides opinions for the formulation of treatment plans and the judgment of prognosis. Kidney biopsy is an invasive examination, so it is necessary to evaluate the patient’s blood pressure, coagulation, platelet status, etc. before the examination to prevent complications of the biopsy. After the biopsy, it is necessary to pay attention to lying in bed for 24 hours and avoiding excessive exercise within one month to prevent the occurrence of perinephric abscess. It is also necessary to pay attention to regular hospital visits and follow-up examination to detect changes in the condition in daily life, and to prevent colds and flu to prevent the exacerbation of chronic kidney disease.

What to pay attention to before kidney biopsy

Preoperative medical care

(1) Preoperative medical care is very important. Simply inform the patient of the process of kidney biopsy, describe the necessity and possible complications of kidney biopsy, introduce successful cases of kidney biopsy, so that the transition from passive to active is timely, and the attitude is adjusted appropriately. Among the 45 patients, none had anxiety.

(2) Breathing training. The patient should hold their breath for 10-20 seconds. This is beneficial for not moving during kidney biopsy. Training should start one week before the operation, with the responsible nurse explaining the purpose of the breathing training, setting an example, and ensuring that the patient must grasp it and be encouraged to continue training every day.

(3) Bedside training for urination. Because it is required to stay in bed for 24 hours after surgery, therefore, 3 days before the operation, the patient should be trained to urinate in bed at regular intervals, which is difficult for many patients to ensure, so it is necessary to explain carefully.

Because there are many things to pay attention to before kidney biopsy, it is expected that patients and friends can follow the doctor’s instructions to prepare in advance to prevent accidents during kidney biopsy, which may cause unnecessary damage. In addition, it is also necessary to find a reliable hospital department in advance and let professional and skilled doctors conduct the procedure.
