Computed Tomography-Guided Kidney Transplant Biopsy Outcomes: A Single-Center Experience.

CONCLUSIONS: A computed tomography-guided percutaneous kidney transplant biopsy is a safe and effective alternative to obtain kidney tissue in the obese population and is associated with low rates of complications. In this study, we highlighted the need to achieve adequate blood pressure control and assess bleeding risk factors, such as platelet count and international normalized ratio, prior to biopsy.
