Description
A case report describes a clotting complication that doctors had not previously tied to kidney biopsy. A 42-year-old woman with lupus had an ultrasound-guided biopsy of her left kidney to investigate new protein in her urine. Three days later she arrived at an emergency department with lower belly pain, weakness, fatigue, and palpitations. A CT scan showed a clot in her left ovarian vein, which ran in an unusual position right beside the kidney.
Collis and co-authors blame needle injury to the vein plus lupus-driven clotting risk. After other bleeding problems were ruled out, she received three months of apixaban and went home stable.
