In this episode of Glom Goals, we spoke to Dr. Salil Parikh from the Methodist Le Bonheur Healthcare group in Tennessee to understand how his facility has achieved such great biopsy adequacy rates. We’ll dive into their approach to performing renal biopsies—an approach that consistently delivers excellent and adequate samples. While it might not be the only way to do it, it’s a blueprint that we know works and it can help refine how we all approach kidney biopsies. Join us as we break down what makes this approach successful, discuss tips for optimizing yield and safety, and reflect on how you can adapt it in your own practice. What’s your biopsy blueprint—and what outcomes have you seen? Here is a link to a paper that was frequently referenced during this episode: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/20574102/
