**1. Introduction**

Renal lesions are subdivided based on duration as acute kidney injury (AKI) and chronic kidney disease (CKD). AKI has numerous hemodynamic, inflammatory, toxic, and obstructive causes, which, when diagnosed and treated early, can be reversed, thereby avoiding permanent damage [1, 2]. CKD, however, is the clinical detection of a progressive, irreversible loss of kidney function, for which the aim of therapy is to minimize the progression of the disease [2].

#### *Renal Diseases*

Percutaneous kidney biopsy has become part of clinical practice in nephrology, as it enables the diagnosis, prognostic assessment, and therapeutic guidance of kidney diseases [3, 4]. Since its advent in the 1950s, advances have been achieved in the technique to improve the diagnostic yield and minimize complications [5].
