Hemophilia is an inherited bleeding, or coagulation, disorder. Children with hemophilia lack the ability to stop bleeding because of the low levels, or complete absence, of specific proteins, called "factors," in their blood that are necessary for clotting. Proper clotting of blood helps prevent excessive bleeding. In the US, there are about 18,000 people with hemophilia. What are the different types of hemophilia? There are many factors in the blood that are involved in the function of forming clots to stop bleeding. A child with hemophilia is missing, or has a low supply of, one of the factors needed in order for the blood to clot. Two factors that affect blood clotting are factor VIII and factor IX. Hemophilia is classified by its level of severity. Hemophilia may be mild, moderate, or severe, depending upon the level of the blood clotting factors in the blood. The three main forms of hemophilia include the following: hemophilia A - caused by a lack of the blood clotting factor VIII; approximately 85 percent of hemophiliacs have type A disease.

Health Risk Assessments Medication Card Medication Checklist showLayer('mainNav'); Search Conditions Treatment Options Hemophilia How is it treated? The main treatment for hemophilia is replacing the clotting factor that is too low or missing. Clotting factors are given in differing doses according to the weight of the individual and the severity of the bleeding. Clotting factor products are powders that are packaged in sterile glass vials. Many of them require special storage such as refrigeration. When a dose is needed, the powder is dissolved in small amounts of sterile water and the resulting solution is either injected into a vein or mixed with a larger amount of fluid and dripped into a catheter that is inserted into a vein (an IV infusion). In individuals who have mild forms of hemophilia, replacement therapy is generally not used, unless the individual is going to be participating in sports or is having a dental procedure done. With mild hemophilia, desmopressin (DDAVP) is the agent that is normally used. DDAVP is a synthetic hormone that releases von Willebrand factor which transports factor VIII thus increasing factor VIII levels. DDAVP is not really a clotting factor and is available in two forms: injection and nasal spray. With moderate forms of hemophilia, clotting factor replacement should begin when bleeding starts, when bleeding is expected (e.g. surgery), and when participating in activities that increase the bleeding risk (e.g. contact sports). For individuals with moderate or severe hemophilia, prompt administration of the missing clotting factor reduces the risk of chronic complications that may result from repeated or prolonged bleeding episodes.

The Tyler Medical Clinic Assisted Conception - Affordable Infertility Treatments - List of Diseases - Hemophilia A and Hemophilia B Hemophilia is an inherited bleeding disorder caused by the absence or decreased levels of certain blood clotting factors. In response to an injury such as a cut, the body releases platelets to form a clot at the injury site to prevent further bleeding. Various factors are produced by the platelets and these interact to form a clot. Absence or decreased levels of certain clotting factors causes increased bleeding time and results in Hemophilia. There are two types of Hemophilia and these are classified according to the deficient clotting factor. The more common form, Hemophilia A, is caused by a Factor VIII deficiency, and the less common form, Hemophilia B, is caused by Factor IX deficiency. Approximately 2/3 of all cases of Hemophilia are inherited, the rest are due to a sporadic genetic mutation. A couple with a familial history of hemophilia should consult with a genetic counselor. They should also be aware and should consider a new genetic test called Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD). PGD tests for genetic defects and determines the gender of an embryo prior to implantation. Through this mechanism, the chance of having an affected child can be significantly reduced. A genetic counselor can advise a couple on whether PGD will be of benefit to them. PGD can also test for other genetic disorders and is continually being improved to encompass other hereditary diseases.

Hemophilia refers to a group of inherited disorders that cause abnormal bleeding. The bleeding occurs because part of the blood — called plasma — has too little of a protein that helps blood clot. Symptoms of hemophilia range from increased bleeding after trauma, injury, or surgery to sudden bleeding with no apparent cause. There are two types of hemophilia: Hemophilia A - also called classic hemophilia – is most common and occurs in about 85% of people with hemophilia. Hemophilia B - also called Christmas disease – is less common and occurs in about 15% of people with hemophilia.

The new treatment, called Xyntha Antihemophilic Factor (Recombinant) Plasma/Albumin Free, is a genetically engineered version of factor VIII, a protein essential for the clotting of blood. Factor VIII, known as an anti-hemophilic factor, is missing or decreased in patients with hemophilia A. Xyntha is licensed for the control and prevention of bleeding, which can occur spontaneously or after an accident or injury in patients diagnosed with hemophilia A. Xyntha is also licensed to help prevent surgical bleeding in this patient population.

Find Us Return to Blood Disorders Home Clinical Services Boston Hemophilia Center Hemophilia Symptoms Hemophilia Symptoms The typical symptom of hemophilia is excessive, uncontrollable bleeding. The level of clotting factors in the blood determines the severity of the disorder. Hemophiliacs do not bleed faster than normal people; they bleed for a longer time because the blood is not able to clot. People with mild or moderate hemophilia often experience bleeding episodes with major surgeries, dental extractions or trauma. These children are often not diagnosed until a bleeding episode occurs. Severe hemophilia is diagnosed when factor VIII or IX levels are less than 1 percent of normal. Bleeding in these children may occur spontaneously, or be triggered by the simple activities of daily living. Bleeding usually occurs in the soft tissues, muscles and joints. Serious bleeding into the head can occur with trauma and can lead to significant complications. Other symptoms of hemophilia include: Bruising - usually increased bruising is seen at 12 to 18 months of age, when a child is becoming more active. Even minor trauma can result in a large hematoma, or bruise.

It is caused by a deficiency of a blood plasma protein called factor IX that affects the clotting property of blood. Alternative Names Christmas disease; Factor IX hemophilia Causes Hemophilia is a hereditary bleeding disorder of specific blood clotting factors. There are several types of hemophilia, including hemophilia A and B. Hemophilia A is 7 times more common than hemophilia B. Hemophilia B is the result of a deficiency of clotting factor IX. The disorder is caused by an inherited X-linked recessive trait, with the defective gene located on the X chromosome. Thus, the disorder occurs primarily in males. Females carry two copies of the X chromosome, so if the factor IX gene on one chromosome is defective, the other can compensate. Males, however, carry only one X chromosome, so if the factor IX gene on that chromosome is defective, they have the disease. Females with one defective factor IX gene are carriers of this trait. Half of the male babies born from women who carry the defective gene have a 50% chance of developing the disease. Half of the female babies born from women who have the defective gene have a 50% chance of being carriers.
