The purpose of this research study is to create a prospectively maintained, multicenter
database of patients undergoing renal biopsy for renal masses performed percutaneously
(through skin), via an 18 gauge biopsy needle (.048 inches). In this database, the
investigators will collect and maintain the data from the biopsy procedure. This will allow
us to evaluate our experience with this procedure as well as to participate in
multi-institutional collaborative studies in the future. At University of California Irvine,
the investigators routinely biopsy patients with renal masses under real-time ultrasound
control. Percutaneous renal biopsy under ultrasound guidance is a routine procedure performed
to diagnose renal mass histopathology. The safety and efficacy of this procedure has been
well documented in the literature. The indications for percutaneous renal biopsy have
expanded as there has been a substantial increase in the number of renal masses that are
being diagnosed, and the acceptance of percutaneous biopsy continues to expand in parallel.
The biopsy procedure is part of your normal standard of care and if not being done for this
research project.
