A rare condition in itself, acquired hemophilia A, seldom presents as isolated gross hematuria. It is a serious condition with a high mortality rate and thus clinical suspicion followed by prompt diagnosis is imperative (1). In fact, only 8 cases of such presentation of this condition have been reported thus far in the literature. Of these, none describe the initial presentation of hematuria with the inciting event of a kidney stone. We present a case of a 67-year-old man with signs and symptoms of nephrolithiasis accompanied by profuse hematuria, who was subsequently found to have developed expression of factor VIII inhibitor leading to acquired hemophilia A.

Introduction: We have reanalyzed the genomic data from the International Collaboration for the Genomics of HIV (ICGH), focusing on HIV-1 Elite Controllers (EC).
Methods: A genome-wide association study (GWAS) was performed, comparing 543 HIV-1 EC individuals with 3,272 uninfected controls (CTR) of European ancestry. 8 million single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and HLA class I and class II gene alleles were imputed to compare EC and CTR.

Objective: To explore the diagnosis and treatment of acquired hemophilia A (AHA) based on the analysis of clinical data.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical manifestations, laboratory characteristics, treatment, and outcomes of 25 patients diagnosed with AHA who were admitted to the Second Hospital of Hebei Medical University.
Results: Among all patients, 11 cases had secondary factors, including 5 cases of autoimmune diseases, 3 cases of pregnancy-related disease, 1 case of pemphigoid, 1 case of Graves' disease, and 1 case of monoclonal gammaglobulinemia of unknown significance (MGUS).

Introduction: Acquired haemophilia A (AHA) is characterized by the development of autoantibodies against factor VIII, reducing its activity and potentially resulting in bleeding.
Aim: To assess the characteristics of people with AHA undergoing rehabilitation and/or with low activities of daily living (ADL) scores, thereby characterizing unmet needs in the management of AHA and informing treatment optimization.
Methods: ORIHIME II, the largest epidemiological and treatment survey of AHA in Japan, is a descriptive, retrospective, observational study conducted using health claims data from April 2008 to October 2021.
