Interventional Nephrology involves specialized procedures performed by nephrologists for diagnosis and treatment of kidney diseases, including kidney biopsy and dialysis access placement.

Causes (Need for Procedures):

• Unexplained kidney failure
• Proteinuria or hematuria
• Need for dialysis access

Symptoms/Indications:

• Abnormal kidney function tests
• Persistent protein or blood in urine
• Need for urgent dialysis
• Unclear diagnosis of kidney disease

Treatment/Procedures:

• Kidney Biopsy: Sampling kidney tissue for diagnosis
• Non-Tunnelled Catheters: Temporary dialysis access
