THE IMPORTANCE OF ULTRASOUND IN ASSESSMENT OF THE POSSIBLE DEVELOPMENT OF PURULENT COMPLICATIONS AFTER REN BIOPSY

Renal biopsy is a diagnostic and treatment choice for several primary or secondary kidney diseases that can help identify end stage renal disease. The indications can be nephritic or nephrotic syndrome, rapidly progressive acute renal failure of unknown origin. Bleeding is the main primary complication, which in rare cases can lead to retroperitoneal bleeding and the need for surgery interventions. The ultrasound reveals not only complications of biopsy associated with bleeding, but also secondary changes in the area of hemorrhages.
