Abstract

Percutaneous renal biopsy is a valuable diagnostic approach. While commonly safe, it is not without risk and the most feared vascular complications include hemorrhage, pseudoaneurysm, and arteriovenous fistula formation. We report a case of acute hemorrhage after renal biopsy that was immediately identified by ultrasonography and successfully treated with percutaneous perirenal thrombin injection. This technique may prove a useful addition to the armamentarium of any operator performing renal biopsies.
