Abstract

Two hundred five cases of open renal biopsy using a muscle-splitting technique have been performed over the past seven years. Eighty-seven per cent were done under local anesthesia. Tissue for routine histology, immunofluorescence staining and electromicroscopy were obtained in all cases. Morbidity was low, and there were no deaths attributed to the procedure.
