Yield and complications of kidney biopsy over two decades in a tertiary pediatric center

Kidney biopsy serves as an adjunct for the diagnosis of renal disease, but it is not always productive. This study evaluated the yield and risks of kidney biopsies performed in 1995–2014 at a tertiary pediatric medical center.
