Complications
These include:
- haemorrhage - usually from damage to a branch artery when creating the nephrostomy track and usually, corrected by clamping the nephrostomy tube to create a tamponade effect
- pneumothorax - requires a chest drain
- septicaemia - unlikely if appropriate antibiotic cover given prophylactically
