Percutaneous Kidney Biopsy and the Utilization of Blood Transfusion and Renal Angiography Among Hospitalized Adults.

ABSTRACT: Introduction:Data on percutaneous kidney biopsy (KBx) incidence and frequencies of hemorrhagic complications among inpatients are limited. Methods:Using nationally representative US hospitalization discharge data, we report temporal trends in inpatient KBx rates from 2007 to 2014 and estimate frequencies of, and risk factors for, utilization of packed red blood cell (pRBC) transfusion and renal angiography. Results:From 2007 to 2014, rates of native KBx among adult inpatients increased from 8.2 to 10.0 per 100,000, while transplant KBx rates declined from 3.6 to 3.1 per 100,000. We studied 35,183 and 14,266 discharge records with native and transplant KBx. We found that 5.7% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 5.3%-6.0%) of inpatients undergoing native KBx and 4.9% (4.2%-5.5%) of those undergoing transplant KBx received a pRBC transfusion within 2 days of biopsy. Similarly, 0.6% (0.5%-0.7%) of inpatients undergoing native KBx and 0.4% (0.2%-0.5%) undergoing transplant KBx received a renal angiogram within 2 days of KBx. For inpatient native KBx, female sex, older age, higher chronic kidney disease stage, acute renal failure, lupus, vasculitis, cirrhosis, multiple myeloma/paraproteinemia, and anemia of chronic disease were independently associated with increased odds of pRBC transfusion; cirrhosis and end-stage renal disease (ESRD) were associated with increased odds, and nephrotic syndrome was associated with decreased odds, of renal angiography. Conclusions:In this large population-based study of inpatient KBx practices, we demonstrate increasing rates of inpatient native KBx among US adults and provide accurate estimates of the frequencies of, and risk factors for, pRBC transfusion and renal angiography following inpatient KBx.

Project description:Background and objectivesPatients are informed of the risk of kidney biopsy-related complications using data from nonhospitalized patients, which may underestimate the risk for hospitalized patients. We evaluated the rate and risk factors of kidney biopsy-related complications in hospitalized patients with acute kidney disease (AKD) to better estimate the risk in this population.Design, setting, participants, & measurementsWe used data from the Yale biopsy cohort to evaluate rates of kidney biopsy-related complications including adjudicated procedure-related bleeding requiring blood transfusions or angiographic interventions, medium- or large-sized hematomas, reimaging after biopsy including abdominal ultrasonography or computed tomography, and death in hospitalized patients with AKD (including AKI). We evaluated univariable and multivariable association of risk factors with transfusions. We compared rates of complications between hospitalized and nonhospitalized patients.ResultsBetween 2015 and 2017, 159 hospitalized patients underwent a kidney biopsy for AKD evaluation, of which 80 (51%) had stage 1 AKI, 42 (27%) had stage 2 (or higher) AKI, and 27 (17%) had AKD (without AKI). Of these, 12 (8%; 95% confidence interval [95% CI], 5% to 15%) required a transfusion, three (2%; 95% CI, 1% to 5%) required an intervention, 11 (7%; 95% CI, 4% to 12%) had hematoma, and 31 (20%; 95% CI, 14% to 26%) required reimaging after biopsy. Of the four (3%; 95% CI, 1% to 6%) deaths during hospitalization, none were related to the biopsy. Female sex, lower platelet count, and higher BUN were associated with postbiopsy transfusions on univariable and multivariable analyses. Trainee as proceduralist and larger needle gauge were associated with transfusions in univariable, but not multivariable, analysis. Nonhospitalized patients had lower rates of transfusion than hospitalized patients, although the latter also had lower prebiopsy hemoglobin and greater surveillance after biopsy.ConclusionsHospitalized patients experience higher risk of postbiopsy complications than previously reported and several factors, such as lower platelet count, female sex, and higher BUN, are associated with this risk.

Project description:ObjectivesWe aim to evaluate the safety of performing percutaneous native kidney biopsy (PKB) as an outpatient procedure (implying an observation period of 6?hours) compared with the traditional inpatient policy.Design, setting, participants and measurementsGroup I, in whom PKB was performed in the outpatient department (2012-2016) and followed by 6?hours' observation period and then by regular outpatient visits and group II, in whom PKB was performed and followed by at least 1?day hospital admission. Group II included retrospectively retrieved patients who underwent PKB in our Institution between January 2000 and November 2012 as an inpatient procedure. All biopsies were performed by a single nephrologist following a structured protocol.Results462 biopsies were reviewed, 210 (45.5%) of patients were women and the mean age was 54.7±17.9 years. One hundred and twenty-nine (27.9%) of these biopsies were performed in outpatients. A total of 36 (7.8%) of patients developed a complication, and of those, 9 (1.9%) suffered for a major complication (arteriovenous fistula (six cases, 1.2%), ischaemic stroke (2; 0.4%), thromboembolic pulmonary embolism (1; 0.2%)) and 27 (5.8%) for minor(macroscopic haematuria (12 cases, 2.6%), haematomas on sonography not requiring intervention (15 cases, 3.2%)). When comparing the complication rate between groups I and II, no statical difference was observed. When analysing together both groups, after multivariate analysis, serum creatinine >3?mg/dL (OR 2.03, 95%?CI 1.18 to 6.81) and known severe hypertension (OR 2.01, 95%?CI 1.2 to 4.7) were found to be independent risk factors for minor and major complications, respectively. Conversely, we found no association of risk with the number of biopsy passes, gender, age, diagnosis, presence of haematuria before the kidney biopsy nor the degree of proteinuria.ConclusionsOutpatient biopsy could be a valuable, safe and perhaps cost-effective method of obtaining diagnostic renal tissue in the majority of patients.

Project description:BackgroundThe major complication of renal biopsy is bleeding. Infection is an extremely rare complication of percutaneous renal biopsy, providing sterile techniques are used and bowel perforation does not occur. However, the questionnaire included in the Kidney Biopsy Guidebook 2020 in Japan reported that antibiotic prophylaxis was administered to patients undergoing percutaneous renal biopsy at 61% of 170 adult institutions and 57% of 54 pediatric institutions. The objective of this study is to show the non-inferiority of not administering antibiotic prophylaxis for percutaneous renal biopsy.MethodsPatients aged ≥15 years who are scheduled to undergo percutaneous renal biopsy are eligible for inclusion in the study. Three hundred and sixty-four patients will be recruited at 6 hospitals. The patients will be randomly assigned at a 1:1 ratio to receive either a single dose of intravenous cefazolin (1 g) or no antibiotic prophylaxis. The primary outcome is the number of patients that exhibit positive urine cultures (>105 colony-forming units/ml) 3 or 4 days after the renal biopsy, or at which point the patients are diagnosed with pyelonephritis until 3 or 4 days after the renal biopsy. The secondary outcomes are the number of patients who are diagnosed with pyelonephritis within 30 days after the renal biopsy, the number of patients who are diagnosed with puncture site infections within 30 days after the renal biopsy, the number of patients who are diagnosed with an infection other than pyelonephritis or a puncture site infection within 30 days after the renal biopsy, and the number of patients who experience cefazolin-induced side effects.DiscussionThis randomized controlled trial aims to show the non-inferiority of not administering antibiotic prophylaxis for percutaneous renal biopsy. If this study shows that antibiotic prophylaxis is not needed, it would help to ensure patient safety and prevent the development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria.Trial registrationUMIN Clinical Trials Registry (UMIN-CTR) UMIN000042378 .
