Hi, Since you have not mentioned the place you belong to I will mention the cost in USD- 150-200. Kidneybiopsy is advised when there is no other way to find out the reason for kidney disease. The procedure is quite safe in experienced hands. Sometimes minor complications like blood in the urine may occur but subsiding rapidly
