Percutaneous renal biopsy insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(PRB); is currently the standard of technique. Although safety of the procedure and diagnostic yield, considerably improved with “automated spring-loaded biopsy device”, serious complications might still be observed. There is paucity of data on PRB outcomes in children insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(1,2,4,5,6. On the other hand, A renal biopsy is regarded as one of the essential skills to be acquired by pediatric nephrology trainees, however; in recent years PRBs have been taken over by non-nephrologists in many instituitions. Eventually young nephrologists are faced with the risk of missing the technical expertise to perform a renal biopsy due to lack of training and feeling dissatisfaction with their career choice insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(3);.
