    Summary

    Multiple blood transfusions may cause nonobstructive renal enlargement in patients with hemophilia. This finding is also observed in patients with sickle cell anemia or thalassemia, suggesting a common link.

    Area of Science:

    • Nephrology
    • Hematology
    • Medical Imaging

    Background:

    • Hemophilia is associated with various renal abnormalities.
    • Nonobstructive renal enlargement is a rare finding in hemophilia patients.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe findings in hemophilia patients with nonobstructive renal enlargement.
    • To identify potential common factors associated with renal enlargement in hematologic disorders.

    Main Methods:

    • Case series describing four patients with hemophilia and nonobstructive renal enlargement.
    • Review of clinical data and imaging findings.
    • Comparison with patients suffering from sickle cell anemia or thalassemia.

    Main Results:

    • Three of the four hemophilia patients presented with pseudotumors of the iliac bone.
    • Multiple blood transfusions were identified as a common factor in all studied patients with renal enlargement, including those with sickle cell anemia or thalassemia.

    Conclusions:

    • Multiple blood transfusions may be a contributing factor to nonobstructive renal enlargement in patients with hemophilia.
    • This finding highlights a potential shared etiology for renal enlargement across different hematologic conditions.
