Do you require patients who undergo a kidney biopsy to be admitted to the hospital for observation?

We do but that is not the common practice. We do send some patients home if the biopsy is done early enough and we can watch them in IR but the majority stay overnight. When IR does the biopsy, they do not admit the patient.
