Urgent-start peritoneal dialysis in the hemophilia a patient with chronic kidney disease: A case report.

Key Clinical Message: This case illustrates that under comprehensive management of individual and clinical needs, urgent-start peritoneal dialysis can be performed safely without bleeding complications in patients with hemophilia A who developed end-stage renal disease. Patients in these cases can benefit from synthetic strategy. Abstract: Hemophilia A is a serious inherited bleeding disorder resulting from a deficiency of coagulation factor VIII (FVIII). Chronic kidney disease (CKD) involvement in hemophilia is relatively rare, but there has been an upward trend in the survival time of patients with prolonged hemophilia. Although peritoneal dialysis (PD) is often used as the first treatment modality for renal replacement treatment, limited data are available on comprehensive management in the hemophilia A population, especially for urgent-start PD. A 56-year-old man who had hemophilia A, was diagnosed with CKD 3 years ago and developed end-stage renal disease was admitted to our hospital after contracting pneumonia and undergoing subsequent Type I respiratory failure. Urgent-start PD improved his condition and health outcomes, and protected his residual renal function. This case is the first study of a Chinese male patient with hemophilia A who developed end-stage renal disease. We summarize the clinical treatment and nursing care strategies of urgent-start PD in a hemophilia A patient with end-stage renal disease. This case illustrates that under comprehensive management of individual and clinical needs, urgent-start PD can be performed safely without bleeding complications in patients with hemophilia A.
