Kidney Biopsy-Related Complications in Hospitalized Patients with Acute Kidney Disease.

ABSTRACT:

Background and objectives

Patients are informed of the risk of kidney biopsy-related complications using data from nonhospitalized patients, which may underestimate the risk for hospitalized patients. We evaluated the rate and risk factors of kidney biopsy-related complications in hospitalized patients with acute kidney disease (AKD) to better estimate the risk in this population.

Design, setting, participants, & measurements

We used data from the Yale biopsy cohort to evaluate rates of kidney biopsy-related complications including adjudicated procedure-related bleeding requiring blood transfusions or angiographic interventions, medium- or large-sized hematomas, reimaging after biopsy including abdominal ultrasonography or computed tomography, and death in hospitalized patie
