Q

Crivellenti, JAVMA, 2018:
Core needle renal biopsies vs laparotomy or laparoscopic biopsies

  1. What factor(s) were associated with the number of glomeruli obtained per needle core specimen?
  2. Specimens obtained by which approach(es) more commonly contained medullary tissue?
A

Crivellenti, JAVMA, 2018:

  1. Factors associated with the number of glomeruli obtained per needle core specimen: needle gauge, patient age, serum creatinine concentration, degree of proteinuria
  2. Specimens obtained via laparotomy or laparoscopic approaches more commonly contained medullary tissue compared to ultrasound-guided approaches
