Lower eGFR is independently associated with embolization‑requiring severe bleeding after percutaneous renal biopsy: a matched case–control study with dose–respons e analysis

Key takeaways

A kidney biopsy means taking a tiny piece of kidney with a needle to see what is wrong. This study found that people with a lower kidney filtering rate (eGFR) more often had bleeding bad enough to need a procedure to block the bleeding vessel. The lower the filtering rate, the higher the risk. This compares people who bled with similar people who did not, so it shows a link, not proof of cause. It is worth raising with your kidney doctor before a biopsy.
