in adults if you think the syndrome is due to primary renal disease then they definitely do the biopsy. but in ccs case 5 minute window may not take you upto that point

hi apollo, i am sorry if my questions annoyed you. i had confusion, that's why i asked. if you don't want to answer, that's fine. i did not specifically asked you. also not all person have same capability to do things. otherwise nobody would ask for help here.
