Percutaneous renal biopsy was first introduced in 1934, and the Vim-Silverman needle modified by Franklin was introduced in 1954 [1]. More recently, renal biopsies have been performed using the spring-loaded biopsy gun [2]. While renal biopsy needles have been evaluated for tissue adequacy and patient safety, their effect on the quality of the tissue has not been previously described. This study compared the quality of the renal tissue obtained for electron microscopy (EM) between two renal biopsy needles, the 14-gauge (G) Vim-Silverman needle and the 16G automated BioptyTM gun using tissues obtained during the conduct of a clinical trial.
