Percutaneous renal biopsy in children is a safe procedure. It is used for definitive diagnosis, prognosis and evaluation of the response to therapy. Repeated percutaneous biopsies are currently performed especially in allograft kidneys and in native kidneys as well. No major complications were noted in our series. The use of the new automated technique with small disposable needles in a well sedated child and experienced operator minimizes the complication rate. The important clinical benefit of the percutaneous renal biopsy overcomes the minimal risk of the procedure. Mesangiocapillary glomerulonephritis and focal segmental glomerulosclerosis are the predominant histological findings in our series. More data from other centers are necessary to evaluate the real incidence of the different entities of renal diseases in our country.
