1-deamino 8-d-arginine Vasopressin (DDAVP) in Percutaneous Ultrasound-guided Renal Biopsy

Summary

The investigators evaluated the effect of pre-biopsy treatment with 1-deamino-8-D-arginine (DDAVP) on the incidence of post-biopsy bleeding complications. This is a IV phase single centre, double blind, randomized controlled study in patients, with acute and chronic nephropathy, undergoing ultrasound-guided percutaneous renal biopsy.
