Abstract
The clinical outcomes of major bleeding events following ultrasound-guided native and allograft parenchymal renal biopsy were evaluated. Forty-eight bleeding complications after biopsy (Society of Interventional Radiology adverse event grade ≥ 2) from 2002 to 2018 were identified. The primary outcome assessed was renal function. The clinical outcomes and interventions performed, including blood transfusion, angiography with or without embolization, nephrostomy tube placement, surgery, nephrectomy, hospitalization, intensive care unit admission, dialysis, and survival, were noted. Renal function may be moderately diminished in the short-term periprocedural setting. None of the patients studied died or required nephrectomy or the initiation of dialysis as a result of a major bleeding complication after the renal biopsy.
