Usually after 24 to 48 hours with some restrictions. Also ask your health care provider.
Kidney biopsy are usually performed as outpatient procedure under CT or US guidance by interventional radiologists. For an uncomplicated procedure you should be able to go back to work the next day with some restrictions on activity based on the indication for the biopsy.
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.
Barring complications, you should be able to get back to work in couple of days.
Discuss with Surgeon, it depends on what happened during Surgery.
