[Sonography of perirenal hematoma after percutaneous renal biopsy in children].
Gray scale ultrasonography was used to evaluate the incidence of renal or perirenal hematoma in children after percutaneous renal biopsy. On a total of 57 infants and children, we found perirenal hematoma in 10 cases or 16%. In an additional patient with macroscopic hematuria, ultrasound revealed pelvic obstruction due to clot formation. In this study the clinical findings and hematocrit were not really contributive in the detection of hematoma, making ultrasound the method of choice to monitor post biopsy complications.
