| Popis: | A case report on the challenges in establishing hemodialysis access for a hemophiliac with factor VIII inhibitors. A 23-year-old male patient, a known case of congenital Hemophilia A for 6 months of age, presented with recurrent hemarthroses, uncontrolled hypertension, and azotemia; on evaluation, he was diagnosed to be suffering from chronic kidney disease. He was on factor VIII supplementation for hemophilia and was recently diagnosed with factor VIII inhibitors as he was becoming refractory to treatment.
