Popis: We report the case of a 50 year-old man factor VIII deficient haemophiliac and hepatitis C cirrhosis. The patient underwent orthotopic liver transplantation because of episodes of variceal bleeding and encephalopathy. He received factor VIII replacement therapy perioperatively. Factor VIII returned to normal within 24 hours postoperatively and factor VIII replacement was stopped. Liver transplantation can be considered as definitive therapy for haemophilia.
