Hi @l0lag0lag0b3 😊
Thank you so much for responding!
Unfortunately, developing an AV fistula is a potential negative consequence of stabbing your kidney with a needle three times to get organ samples.
They warn you that this can happen, but it's supposed to be a low chance under modern ultrasound guidance.
I am going to call for a doctor consultation. Needless to say, I am very concerned.
I was just curious if anyone else was as unlucky as me to have this problem after a protocol kidney biopsy.
Thank you again @l0lag0lag0b3 for jumping in to help!
