          Abstract

          Uremic platelet dysfunction rarely causes significant bleeding in adequately dialyzed patients. When encountered, the management is complicated by a lack of well-supported treatment modalities. Estrogen use in uremic platelet dysfunction has been described, but enthusiasm for the treatment has been dampened by the risk of thrombotic events in vasculopathic dialysis patients. We present a patient on long-term peritoneal dialysis with coronary disease who developed recurrent life-threatening bleeding episodes secondary to uremia, where treatment with transdermal estrogen was used safely and effectively for a 24-month period.

          Risk of venous thrombosis with oral versus transdermal estrogen therapy among postmenopausal women.

          Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a main harmful effect of oral estrogen therapy among postmenopausal women. Transdermal estrogens may be safer but early results need to be confirmed. This review provides a summary of the most recent findings regarding the VTE risk among oral versus transdermal estrogens users.

            Bleeding and thrombotic complications of kidney disease.

            With the rising prevalence of kidney disease, clinicians are increasingly faced with concerns about potential thrombotic and bleeding complications. Thrombotic risk, both arterial and venous, predominates with all severities of kidney disease but bleeding manifestations become an additional concern particularly with uraemia. This article reviews these contrasting problems and discusses strategies for prevention and management in the context of renal impairment, renal replacement therapy and renal transplantation.
