Successful use of CAPD in a patient with von Willebrand disease.

摘要

Reasons for switching to peritoneal dialysis (PD) from hemodialysis include access failure, hypotension during hemodialysis due to fluid loss or heart failure, and neuropathy (1). We describe here a patient with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and von Willebrand (VW) disease who was switched to PD due to bleeding complications during hemodialysis.
