Von Willebrand's disease and angiodysplasia treated with thalidomide

Haemophilia : the Official Journal of the World Federation of Hemophilia

Abstract

A 54-year-old man with type IIB VWD and severe angiodysplasia had such a large blood loss from the bowel that it was difficult to keep up with transfusion requirements. Treatment with factor eight concentrate barely slowed the loss. D.D.A.V.P., Octreotide, and recombinant activated Factor VII, tried separately, were ineffective. The use of Thalidomide at a dose of 150 mg daily has rendered him free from blood loss for the last six months and we suggest would be worth a trial in similar cases.

Blood Clotting Disorders

Thrombophilia includes conditions with increased tendency for excessive blood clotting. Blood clotting occurs when the body has insufficient amounts of specialized proteins that make blood clot and stop bleeding. Here is the latest research on blood clotting disorders.
