Overview
Diagnostic study of choice for nephrotic syndrome is kidney biopsy that reveals the exact type of disease and the its progression.
Diagnostic Study of Choice
Study of choice
- Kidney biopsy is the gold standard test for the diagnosis of nephrotic syndrome.[1]
- This method will reveal the exact cause of proteinuria.
Relative contrandications of the kidney biopsy:
- Single kidney
- Anatomic kidney abnormalities
- Small size kidneys (less than 9 cm), indicative of end stage renal disease
- Renal tumor
- Multiple, bilateral cysts
- Active infection in the kidney or on the skin over the biopsy side
- Uncorrectable bleeding diathesis
- Severe uncontrolled hypertension
- Hydronephrosis
- Uncooperative patient
