Abstract

Renal biopsy is an essential procedure in the diagnosis, treatment and follow-up of renal diseases. The risks associated with performing percutaneous renal biopsy have substantially decreased in the past decades. However, major complications still occur. We report and discuss a case of severe renal biopsy complications in 11-year-old with nephrotic syndrome.
