Özet

Objective: The incidence of chronic kidney diseases increases in older individuals, like all other chronic diseases. Renal biopsy provides important guidance in the diagnosis of many kidney diseases. The impact of biopsy on patient management in older individuals is controversial. In this study, we evaluated the patient population of over 65 years of age in our clinic in the last decade, biopsy-related complications, and the effects of biopsy results on clinical evaluation.
