Kidney biopsy is the gold standard for diagnosing many kidney diseases, but only a minute fraction of patients undergoes this invasive procedure. 1 Severe bleeding is a major complication associated with biopsy. 2, 3 Recent interest in kidney biopsies for research purposes has raised the question of safety for participants. 4 To understand how physicians perceive the risks of kidney biopsy, we sent an institutional review board–approved anonymous online survey to 60 hospitalists at 1 academic hospital in Boston and 98 nephrologists at 3 academic hospitals in Boston. Survey participants were asked about their clinical experience, their perceived risk of kidney biopsies, and the likelihood that they would support biopsies being obtained from their patients for research purposes.The overall response rate was 46%(15/60 hospitalists and 57/98 nephrologists). Twenty-nine (51%) nephrologists had mixed clinical, research, and administrative roles. Twelve (21%) identified as clinicians, and 16 (28%), as researchers. Twenty-eight (47%) were in practice for more than 10 years. All but 1 of the hospitalists had a patient who had undergone a kidney biopsy in the previous 5 years. Three (5%) nephrologists had never done a biopsy, 12 (21%) had performed 10 or fewer, 25 (44%) had performed 11 to 50, and 17 (30%) had performed more than 50 biopsies.
