HAEMORRHAGIC CYSTITIS TREATED WITH EPSILON–AMINOCAPROIC ACID

Abstract

A life-threatening haemorrhagic cystitis, which occurred in a patient with metastatic prostatic carcinoma, was controlled with epsilon-aminocaproic acid (EACA) after conventional approaches to treatment failed. EACA administration was both systemic and intravesical, and control of bleeding occurred within 24 hours after initiation of treatment.
