- Pain
Signs and symptoms include microscopic and macroscopic hematuria, arterial hypertension refractory to medical treatment, flank pain, and audible sounds in the renal arteries caused by turbulent blood flow. 19, 20 The objective of treatment of fistulae [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- Surgical Procedure
Although it is considered safe, since it is an invasive procedure, it is not free from complications, one of which is AVF. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Urogenital
- Kidney Failure
The lower venous vascular resistance of the communication is responsible for reduced blood flow through the renal parenchyma, with renal ischemia and consequent activation of the renin-angiotensin system, causing hypertension and kidney failure. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Treatment
Control angiography showing treatment of the arteriovenous fistula. DISCUSSION Renal biopsy is a very useful tool for diagnosis, to determine prognosis, and to guide treatment. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Etiology
17 Of these, the most common are AVFs associated with percutaneous renal biopsy, those caused by traumas, and those secondary to percutaneous renal surgery. 13 An idiopathic AVF is one that is acquired at some point during life, but has no definite etiologic [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
