Kidney biopsy AV Fistula

So after I got my kidney biopsy on Monday I ended up with a AV fistula. They went in the groin and put a coil in to just stop the blood flow between the vein and artery. I think it is called a renal embolization. Has anyone else been through this ? How was your pain after? I am on day 4 and I am feeling pain on my side under my rib cage and when I breath in really deep.

Hello Junebug1988 and welcome. Sorry to hear you are in pain. In view of the symptoms you describe and given the fact that you have recently had an invasive procedure I would strongly advise you to contact your doctor.

Please let us know how you get on.

Take care
