Kidney biopsy most often provides the diagnosis if it is not established by skin biopsy

First step is skin biopsy. Renal biopsy is for renal lesions.

Thanks Sammy, I was readying Kaplan and they said Kidney, but then I was reading some articles and they said that there are some controversy about it ????
If I see this question in the test, I will trust this on you Smile
