title: Urinoma following Kidney Biopsy: A Case Report.
abstract: Major complications of a percutaneous kidney biopsy are infrequent but warrant early detection and appropriate treatment. We herein report a patient who developed urinoma following kidney biopsy in the effort to emphasize the paramount importance for practitioners to recognize this complication. Prompt diagnosis and proper management of urinoma following kidney biopsy is prudent as delayed treatment may lead to abscess formation, hydronephrosis, obstructive uropathy and chronic kidney failure.
