Successful Kidney Transplant for Nephropathic Cystinosis in a Patient with Von Willebrand Disease Type III: The First Case Report

Nephropathic cystinosis (NC) is a rare autosomal recessive disease, which causes cysteine-crystals accumulation with progression to end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Von willebrand disease (VWD) type III is a rare subtype of von willebrand factor (VWF) abnormality, which is characterized by severe red...
