The authors report a new case of congenital renal arteriovenous fistula (AVF) in a young adult, who presented with gross haematuria. The diagnosis and treatment of this rare disease required collaboration between the urologist and radiologist. The key examination is renal arteriography, allowing selective embolization of the lesion. Conventional surgery now has a usually limited place, following failure of embolization.

This is largely attributable to Mesoamerican nephropathy, a form of interstitial nephritis that predominantly affects young agricultural workers. While the majority of patients have access to chronic dialysis programs, a very small number have an option of receiving a renal transplant.

Rationale: Temporary central venous catheters are commonly used for patients who require emergency hemodialysis. In rare instances, this procedure can result in a very serious complication known as arteriovenous fistula (AVF). Although some cases of femoral arteriovenous fistula have been reported previously in the literature; however, the incidence of iliac AVF precipitated by a hemodialysis catheter is exceedingly uncommon.
