Hello doctor, I recently had my full body checkup and in that my blood has increased levels of uric acid and creatinine and high blood pressure which is reducing very slowly even after eating telmisartan 80 mg and amlodipine besilate 5 mg. So my doctor has advised me for kidney biopsy but I need you advice on the harms of biopsy and does the tissue grow back which is cut in biopsy and also in how much time does the tissue grow back.
