    Abstract:
    Percutaneous renal biopsy is essential for the definitive diagnosis of chronic glomerulonephritis. Large arteriovenous fistula (AVF) which is a rare complication of native renal biopsy is generally diagnosed in the first weeks after the procedure. We present a childhood membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis case with an enormous AVF presenting with severe hypertension 15 months after the biopsy that was successfully embolized. In conclusion, AVF must be considered in children having chronic glomerulonephritides even if hypertension appears late after the renal biopsy.
