What are the signs and symptoms of hemophilia? ... a local Doctor in your town What is hemophilia? Hemophilia is not one disease but rather one of a group of inherited bleeding disorders that cause abnormal or exaggerated bleeding and poor blood clotting. The term is most commonly used to refer to two specific conditions known as hemophilia A and hemophilia B, which will be the main subjects of this article. Hemophilia A and B are distinguished by the specific gene that is mutated (altered to become defective) and codes for a defective clotting factor (protein) in each disease. Rarely, hemophilia C is encountered, but its effect on clotting is far less pronounced than A or B. Hemophilia A and B are inherited in an X-linked recessive genetic pattern and are therefore much more common in males. This pattern of inheritance means that a given gene on the X chromosome expresses itself only when there is no normal gene present. For example, a boy has only one X chromosome, so a boy with hemophilia has the defective gene on his sole X chromosome (and so is said to be hemizygous for hemophilia). Hemophilia is the most common X-linked

Hemophilia In the United States, about 20,000 people have hemophilia. People of all races and economic groups are equally affected. Each year, about 400 babies are born with hemophilia. The most common forms of hemophilia result from deficiencies of clotting factor proteins, factor VIII and factor IX. Both Factor VIII and Factor IX are necessary to form a clot. Hemophilia A , caused by a missing or reduced amount of the blood clotting protein Factor VIII Hemophilia B , caused by a missing or reduced amount of the blood clotting protein Factor IX The symptoms of hemophilia The most common symptom of hemophilia is excessive, uncontrollable bleeding. Patients with hemophilia do not bleed faster than normal children; they bleed for a longer time. The severity of symptoms in children with hemophilia depends on the severity of the disease. Severe hemophilia is when factor VIII or factor IX clotting factor activity is less than 1 percent. Spontaneous bleeding can occur unrelated to injury and is most dangerous when it occurs in the head Joint bleeding is common Moderate hemophilia is when factor VIII or IX clotting factor activity is 1-5 percent.

Hemophilia From New World Encyclopedia Jump to: navigation search Previous (Hemoglobin) Next (Henan) Hemophilia, or haemophilia, is the name of any of several hereditary genetic illnesses that impair the body's ability to control bleeding. Genetic deficiencies (or, very rarely, an autoimmune disorder) cause lowered activity of the plasma clotting factor, which thus compromises the clotting of blood -clotting so that when a blood vessel is injured, a scab will not form and the vessel will continue to bleed excessively for a long time. The bleeding can be external, if the skin is broken by a scrape, cut, or abrasion, or it can be internal, with blood leaking into muscles , joints, or hollow organs. Bleeding, therefore, may present itself either visibly as skin bruises or subtly as melena (blood in the feces), hematuria (blood in the urine), or bleeding in the brain , which can be fatal. In subtler cases, bleeding may be present only following major procedures in newborn babies and then may be injury related in the toddler period and onwards. Though there is no cure for hemophilia, many

Skip navigation A service of the U.S. National Library of Medicine National Institutes of Health Home About MedlinePlus ... Contact Us Search MedlinePlus Health Topics ESPAÑOL Factor V deficiency Factor V deficiency is an inherited condition that affects the ability of the blood to clot. Causes Normal blood coagulation is a complex process involving as many as 20 different proteins in blood plasma, which are known as blood coagulation factors. A series of complex chemical reactions using these factors takes place very rapidly to form a protein called fibrin, which stops bleeding. Factor V deficiency is caused by a lack of the plasma protein Factor V. When certain coagulation factors are low or missing, the chain reaction does not take place normally. Factor V deficiency is rare, and can be caused by inheriting a defective Factor V gene or by acquiring an antibody that interferes with normal Factor V function. You can acquire an inhibitor of Factor V: After giving birth After being treated with a certain type of fibrin glue After surgery With autoimmune diseases and certain cancers Sometimes the cause is unknown.
