HEMOPHILIA hemophilia. Background hemophilia is the oldest known hereditary bleeding disorder. There are two types of hemophilia, A and B (Christmas Disease). http://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/health/public/blood/other/hemophel.htm
Extractions: Background Challenges : The most important challenges facing the hemophilia patient, health care provider, and research community today are: Safety of products used for treatment; Management of the disease including inhibitor formation, irreversible joint damage, and life-threatening hemorrhage; and Progress toward a cure. Safety of Products Used for Treatment : In the past 10 to 15 years, advances in screening of blood donors, laboratory testing of donated blood, and techniques to inactivate viruses in blood and blood products have remarkably increased the safety of blood products used to treat hemophilia. Although treatment-related infection with the AIDS virus or most of the hepatitis viruses is a thing of the past, these measures do not completely avoid viruses such as hepatitis A and parvo virus. These infections are rare; nevertheless, they can pose a threat. Researchers are working to improve procedures to destroy these viruses. To ensure absolute safety from transfusion-transmitted viruses and other agents, hemophiliacs may now be treated with factor VIII which has been produced through biotechnology. This product, recombinant factor VIII, is manufactured by a process entirely free of blood products. It, thus, contains only the factor VIII necessary to treat the disease and none of the other components of blood or attendant unwanted agents. Although the cost of this product exceeds that of the blood-derived product, it is clearly the treatment of choice for those, such as newborns, who have not yet been exposed to blood products. A factor IX product has also been produced by such a process and is currently in clinical trials. Once this product is shown to be safe and effective, all hemophiliacs will have available a treatment for bleeding which is totally free of any contaminating agents.
