Characteristics and posttransplant outcomes of patients with congenital and acquired von Willebrand disease and hemophilia A and with renal transplants

Kidney transplant recipients with hemophilia and VWD are at significant perioperative bleeding risk, particularly from perinephric hematomas and intraoperative hemorrhage. The risk decreases after 30 days, but long-term monitoring for both bleeding and thrombosis remains crucial. Rejection rates appear comparable with those of the general transplant population.
