Abstract
A 32-year-old male presented with hypertensive emergency and features of thrombotic microangiopathy. He underwent a kidney biopsy after renal dysfunction persisted despite clinical improvement otherwise. The kidney biopsy was performed with direct ultrasound guidance. The procedure was complicated by hematoma formation and persistent turbulent flow on color Doppler concerning for ongoing bleeding. Serial point of care ultrasounds of the kidney with color flow Doppler were used to monitor the size of the hematoma and determine if there was evidence of ongoing bleeding. These serial ultrasounds showed stable hematoma size, resolution of biopsy-associated Doppler signal and prevented further invasive interventions.
