Combined Liver-Kidney Transplant for Juvenile Polycystic Kidney Disease and Concomitant Hereditary Factor V Deficiency.

Factor V deficiency is a congenital bleeding diathesis that, in selected cases, may be managed with liver transplant. In this case, we describe the treatment of an adult patient with kidney failure secondary to juvenile onset polycystic kidney disease who received a combined liver-kidney transplant as a method to manage the risks associated with the need for a kidney transplantin the setting of factorV deficiency and high sensitization.
