Zusammenfassung

Die perkutane Nierenbiopsie stellt derzeit den Goldstandard in der Diagnostik der meisten primären und sekundären Nierenerkrankungen dar. Sie dient der Identifikation und Klassifikation renaler Erkrankungen und ist die Grundlage für die Durchführung standardisierter Therapiekonzepte. Wie bei jeder anderen diagnostischen Technik hängt die Güte der ableitbaren Informationen von der vorhandenen Erfahrung und einer standardisierten Durchführung ab. Für die Nierenbiopsie sind dies v. a. die Gewinnung und adäquate Aufarbeitung von repräsentativem Nierengewebe. Die hierfür notwendigen Vorgehensweisen werden im vorliegenden Artikel genauer dargestellt und diskutiert.

Abstract

A kidney biopsy is an important and frequently used diagnostic tool in routine nephrology. In order to obtain relevant clinical information from a renal biopsy close cooperation between clinicians and pathologists is mandatory. The better the information obtained from nephrologists and the better the understanding by nephrologists and the quality of the kidney biopsy, the more rewarding is the information from pathologists. The following paper will discuss some practical aspects regarding the interaction between nephrology and pathology which may not be known or poorly handled and may thus cause misunderstanding. In order to facilitate interaction between clinicians and pathologists some guidelines concerning the procedure and work-up of routine kidney biopsies have been established and will be discussed in detail.
