Dialysis in a Patient with Hemophilia / 대한신장학회잡지

ABSTRACT

Hemophilia is a rare inherited bleeding disorder. The most common manifestation of hemophilia is hemorrage and it can occur at any site of the body. Chronic renal failure results from a variety of systemic disorders and its incidence is now increasing. Until now, chronic renal failure in hemophilia was rare and there was no reported case of hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis in hemophilia patient in korea. The modality of dialysis for hemophiliac end stage renal patients is a difficult choice because hemophiliac patients always have the risk of bleeding. We have experienced one case of end stage renal disease developed in a patient with hemophilia A. He first got continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis for 2 years and then switched to hemodialysis because of recurrent peritoneal infection. While getting peritoneal dialysis, there was no intraperitoneal or retroperitoneal hemorrhage episode. Now he gets hemodialysis through Perm catheter. During hemodialysis, he has no bleeding complication without any factor VIII supplement.
