Renal artery pseudoaneurysms are infrequent and are most often secondary to surgical or percutaneous renal biopsies. Their rupture can cause rapid clinical deterioration by massive haemorrhage. Diagnosis and treatment must, therefore, be rapid. Currently, surgical treatment remains the gold standard in most institutions while paediatric cases of endovascular embolization have seldom been described. We report a 13-month-old infant with a post-biopsy renal pseudoaneurysm successfully treated by selective arterial embolization.

Validation and modification of existing bleeding complications prediction models for percutaneous renal biopsy: a prospective study.
PeerJ
December 2024
Department of Nephrology, Kidney Research Institute, West China Hospital of Sichuan University/West China School of Nursing, Sichuan University, Chengdu, China.
Background: Bleeding complications following percutaneous renal biopsy (PRB) are a significant clinical concern. This study aimed to validate and refine existing prediction models for post-biopsy bleeding to support more accurate clinical decision-making.
Methods: Clinical data from 471 PRB patients were examined in this prospective analysis.

Article Synopsis
- The study focused on understanding the prognosis and risk factors for children with IgA vasculitis nephritis (IgAVN) by analyzing clinical data from 264 diagnosed patients over more than three years.
- Key findings revealed that the majority of patients presented with skin purpura and kidney issues such as hematuria and proteinuria, with most undergoing renal biopsies shortly after symptoms began.
- Statistical analyses were employed to assess factors influencing prognosis, and results indicated that younger children had higher rates of complete remission after three years compared to older age groups.
Clinical Audit of Assisting Renal Biopsy Procedure Performed in Nephrology Unit of a Tertiary Care Hospital with a View to Develop Standard Nursing Procedure Protocol.
Indian J Nephrol

Department of Hospital Administration, All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), New Delhi, India.
Background: Renal biopsy is one of the most commonly performed diagnostic procedures in the nephrology unit. Nurses play a very important role in pre-biopsy preparation, assisting during procedure and post-biopsy care. Nursing care provided during or after renal biopsy is of utmost importance in reducing complications.

Article Synopsis
- * In a study involving 947 children with IgAN, the revised tool outperformed the original in terms of model fit and predictive accuracy for 4-year outcomes, showing enhanced calibration and statistical values.
- * The findings indicated that kidney function (eGFR) trajectories were non-linear, with higher-risk children showing a faster decline, suggesting that the updated prediction should be used for ongoing risk assessment after one or two years following biopsy.
Effect of Ultrasound-Guided Renal Biopsies on Urinary N-Acetyl-Beta-D-Glucosaminidase Index Activity in Dogs with Diffuse Parenchymal Nephropathies.
Life (Basel)

Department of Pathology, University of Agricultural Sciences and Veterinary Medicine, 400372 Cluj-Napoca, Romania.
Article Synopsis
- Ultrasound-guided kidney biopsy is a crucial diagnostic tool that helps differentiate between acute and chronic kidney diseases in dogs, aiding in accurate diagnosis and treatment decisions.
- A study involving 28 dogs revealed various nephropathy types, with glomerulonephritis being the most common, and highlighted significant effects like increased urinary iNAG levels post-biopsy, indicating kidney damage.
- All dogs experienced some degree of hematuria after the biopsy, which was transient and resolved without treatment, suggesting that while biopsy is invasive, side effects tend to be manageable.
