The recovery is 24 hours. You can go back to work after 24 hours unless your healthcare provider tells you otherwise. Also, you can return to all your normal activities after two to three days after the procedure. Thank you.
After a kidney biopsy, you have to lie down on your back for a few hours. After that, you should avoid strenuous activities for about a week.


24 hrs unless there is a problem
You need to speak to your urologist/nephrologist about that. They should tell you that before the procedure.
