Treatment
The material is in no way intended to replace professional medical care by a qualified specialist and should not be used as a basis for diagnosis or treatment. [orpha.net]
Treatment is symptomatic only. WRS has progressive course and early lethality. The first Ukrainian case of WRS is described and the literature is reviewed. Keywords Wiedemann-Rautenstrauch syndrome; first Ukrainian clinical case; review [iej.zaslavsky.com.ua]
Current treatment procedures Infantile hemangiomas are the most common benign tumors Thrombotic microangiopathies – hemolytic-uremic syndromes and thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura Thrombotic microangiopathies are a heterogeneous group of disease Nonhealing [prolekare.cz]
Standard Therapies Treatment The treatment of Wiedemann-Rautenstrauch syndrome is directed toward the specific symptoms that are apparent in each individual. Treatment may require the coordinated efforts of a team of specialists. [rarediseases.org]
