Article Synopsis
- Nephropathic cystinosis (NC) is a rare genetic disorder that leads to the buildup of cysteine crystals and eventually causes end-stage renal disease (ESRD).
- A 16-year-old patient with both NC and von Willebrand disease (VWD) type III experienced uremic symptoms and required hemodialysis for 4 months due to ESRD, with significant care taken to manage bleeding risks from VWD.
- This case highlights the newly identified link between NC and VWD type III and demonstrates the successful kidney transplantation in a patient with a hereditary bleeding disorder, suggesting that such procedures can be feasible in similar cases.
