Abstract
Percutaneous renal biopsy is essential in the diagnosis of renal parenchymal disease, providing diagnostic and prognostic information to nephrologists. Percutaneous renal biopsy is considered to be a relatively safe procedure, and catastrophic complications are rare. The post-biopsy care of patients typically consists of bed rest and observation for 24 hours. Additionally, recent reports have suggested that most complications after percutaneous renal biopsy are apparent within 24 hours; however, perinephric hematomas have been demonstrated at 24 to 72 hours after percutaneous renal biopsy in over 90% of cases. We report an unusual case of delayed perirenal hematoma that occurred 5 days after percutaneous renal biopsy.
