Abstract: Hemoptysis is a common complication of bronchiectasis, but concurrent primary hyperfibrolysis is very rare andeasily gives rise to missed diagnosis. Patients with bronchiectasis complicated by primary hyperfibrolysis do not respond toregular treatment for hemoptysis, which may potential cause fatal consequences. We report two cases of bronchiectasiscombined with primary hyperfibrinolysis. Both of the patients had a history of bronchiectasis and were admitted forintermittent hemoptysis. Conventional treatment such as vasopressin failed to produce a favorable response. The eventualdefinite diagnosis of primary hyperfibrinolysis was established based on laboratory examinations. After diagnosis, the patientsreceived fibrinogen and cryoglobulin to maintain a fibrinogen level over1.5g/L. Both of the patients subsequently showedimproved conditions and were discharged.
