Description
Summary:Percutaneous native renal biopsy is recognized as a safe procedure. The majority of bleeding events occur within 24 h after the procedure, and reports of delayed major complications are very limited.

Careful attention should be paid to diagnose and treat delayed major complications in patients undergoing native renal biopsy.
