Failure of Recombinant Activated Factor VII in Treatment of Diffuse Alveolar Hemorrhage due to Cryoglobulinemic Vasculitis
Diffuse alveolar hemorrhage (DAH) is a serious complication of the small vessel vasculitis syndromes and carries a high mortality. Recombinant activated factor VII (rFVIIa) is used to treat bleeding in patients with hemophilia and antibodies to factor VIII or IX. It is increasingly being used in life-threatening hemorrhage in a variety of other settings in which conventional therapy is unsucces...
متن کاملSuccessful pulmonary administration of activated recombinant factor VII in diffuse alveolar hemorrhage
INTRODUCTION Diffuse alveolar hemorrhage (DAH) is a serious pulmonary complication seen in patients with autoimmune disorders and patients treated with chemotherapy or after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. The clinical management of DAH is complex and the condition has a high mortality rate. Tissue factor is expressed in the lung alveoli during inflammation and therefore pulmonary admi...
متن کاملMicroscopic polyangiitis causing diffuse alveolar hemorrhage and rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis.
Diffuse alveolar hemorrhage complicating small vessel vasculitis is a life-threatening emergency and should be considered in the differential diagnosis of patients who develop rapidly progressive dyspnea with alveolar opacities on chest imaging. In these patients, the coexistence of pulmonary and renal involvement suggests a multisystem disease. We present a case of a man who presented to our h...
متن کاملIntrapulmonary recombinant factor VIIa for diffuse alveolar hemorrhage in children.
Diffuse alveolar hemorrhage (DAH) is a life-threatening pulmonary complication in patients with hematologic malignancies or autoimmune disorders, and it has a high mortality rate. The current treatment options of corticosteroids, transfusions, and immunosuppressants have been limited and largely unsuccessful, and they can be accompanied by multiple complications. Intrapulmonary administration o...
متن کاملRecombinant activated factor VII for acute intracerebral hemorrhage
Acute stroke is the third leading cause of death worldwide, exceeded only by coronary artery disease and cancer. There are two major subtypes of strokeischemic and hemorrhagic with 20-30% of all strokes being hemorrhagic in nature. The incidence of ischemic strokes has steadily declined by virtue of rigorous risk factor modification, but the same has not been possible for hemorrhagic strokes. M...
