Hemorrhage from congenital renal arteriovenous malformation in pregnancy

Urology. 1984 Apr;23(4):381-4. doi: 10.1016/0090-4295(84)90147-x.

Abstract

A case report of life-threatening hemorrhage from a congenital renal arteriovenous malformation during pregnancy is presented. The hyperdynamic circulatory state that exists during pregnancy may predispose to bleeding from vascular malformations. We review the classification and clinical presentation of renal arteriovenous malformations.
