Abstract
|
|
|
|
Acquired hemophilia is a rare but potentially life-threatening hemorrhagic disorder caused by the development of autoantibodies against coagulation factor VIII. Concentrates of human factor VIII, desmopressin, activated prothrombin complex concentrates, recombinant activated factor VII can all be used to control episodes of acute bleeding. The recent availability of bypassing agents like recombinant activated factor VII has been shown to be clinically safe and effective as treatment for acute bleeding. In this case report, a 67 year-old male patient with Rh negative blood type developed gross hematuria and bleeding after transurethral resection due to prostatic hypertrophy. After vesicocutaneous fistular reduction operation, post-operative bleeding was presented. The acute bleeding was controlled successfully by the combined treatment with recombinant activated factor VII (Novo seven?) and prednisone.
