Renal
biopsy is a crucial
method in the
diagnosis and
treatment of
acute renal failure of unknown origin,
nephrotic syndrome, suspicious
interstitial nephritis, and
glomerulonephritis as a possible cause of
hematuria or
proteinuria.
Complications occur in 2% to 8% of
patients after percutaneous renal
biopsy.
Complications include gross
hematuria, perirenal
hematoma,
arteriovenous fistula,
aneurysm,
injury of other organs, and
urine leakage.
Urine leakage as a complication after
kidney biopsy is rare. We experienced a case of
urine leakage into the intra-
abdominal cavity after renal
biopsy.
