Abstract

A 57-year-old man with end-stage renal failure secondary to myeloma kidney developed haemorrhagic complications due to endogenous glycosaminoglycan anticoagulant production. Glycosaminoglycan levels and anticoagulant effect were reduced by plasma exchange and this contributed to control of the haemorrhagic manifestations.
