Interventional Nephrology - Renal Biopsy - Dialysis Catheter (Temporary & Tunnelled Catheters)
Renal biopsy is like the Sherlock Holmes of nephrology. When the mystery of kidney disease needs solving, a tiny piece of kidney tissue is sampled for examination under the microscope. It helps unveil the culprit behind the kidney woes, whether it’s inflammation, infection, or something else.
Temporary catheters are like the nomads of the catheter world. They’re a quick fix, inserted into a large vein in the neck or groin, providing immediate access for dialysis. However, they’re not meant for the long haul.
Enter the tunnelled catheters – the long-term companions. They’re surgically placed under the skin, with a portion of the catheter tunneled to reduce infection risk. These are more durable and can withstand the marathon of dialysis sessions.
Interventional nephrologists are the maestros behind these procedures. They use imaging techniques like ultrasound to guide their moves, ensuring precision and minimizing risks.
