Kidney Biopsy Through A Surgical Incision

Arizona rates for HCPCS 50205

Takes a sample of kidney tissue for laboratory examination by opening the skin and muscle to expose the kidney directly, rather than passing a needle in through the skin. The open route is chosen when a needle sample would be unsafe or has already failed to give an answer. The tissue is then examined under a microscope to explain kidney damage or disease.
