Ultrasonography of the kidney following renal biopsy in children.
The frequency of renal and perirenal hematomas following percutaneous renal biopsy using a cutting needle was studied by means of ultrasonography in 30 children and young adults aged 3-16 years. Hematomas occurred in 64.5 percent of the biopsies but caused significant clinical symptoms in one patient only.
