Menorrhagia in von Willebrand disease successfully treated with single daily dose tranexamic acid

Abstract: Four cases of menorrhagia in von Willebrand disease were successfully treated with tranexamic acid given in a single daily dose of 4 g for the first 3-5 days of the menstrual cycle. The pathophysiology and pharmacokinetics are discussed. The apparent improved efficacy and acceptability of this new dosing regime have been highlighted.

“…However, there are rare anecdotal reports of thrombotic complications, including cerebral arterial and venous thrombosis during antifibrinolytic therapy for menorrhagia [74][75][76]. Several case reports describe successful treatment of menorrhagia with correction of iron-deficiency anemia [72,73].…”

Na experiência clínica continuada, são muito úteis para reduzir a gravidade da metrorragia em mulheres com DvW, mesmo nas tipo 3, ainda que não modifiquem os níveis de .VIII-.vW.…”

“…1 A doença de von Willebrand (DvW) é a mais freqüente desordem da coagulação, sendo transmitida de forma autossômica dominante. É causada por uma anormalidade quantitativa ou qualitativa do fator de von Willebrand (.vW), que é uma glicoproteína multimérica de alto peso molecular, sintetizada pelas células endoteliais e megacariócitos [2][3][4][5] . As principais funções do .vW são: (a) mediar a interação entre as plaquetas e o colágeno subendotelial; (b) mediar a interação plaqueta-plaqueta, (c) atuar como carreador molecular do .VIII e estabilizador de sua atividade coagulante.…”
