a native renal biopsy is one in which the patient's own kidneys are biopsied. in a transplant renal biopsy, the kidney of another person that has been transplanted into the patient is biopsied. transplant kidney biopsy can be performed when nothing is apparently wrong with the transplant kidney for the purposes of surveillance for hidden disease (protocol transplant biopsy). this is typically done at 0, 3 and 12 months post-transplant according to a transplant unit protocol. biopsy of the transplanted kidney taken during the transplant operation is termed implantation transplant biopsy or post-perfusion transplant biopsy depending on the timing of the biopsy with respect to key stages of the operation. when the transplanted kidney is not working properly, biopsy may be undertaken to identify the cause of dysfunction. this is referred to as an indication transplant biopsy, because something has prompted the performance of the biopsy.
