Hemophilia From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Haemophilia or hemophilia is the name of any of several hereditary genetic illnesses that impair the body's ability to heal bleeding wounds. Genetic deficiencies cause lowered plasma clotting factor activity so as to compromise blood-clotting; when a blood vessel is injured, a scab will not form and the vessel can continue to bleed excessively for a very long period of time. The bleeding can be external , if the skin is broken by a scrape, cut or abrasion, or it can be internal Table of contents 1 Treatment 2 Causes 3 History 4 See also ... edit Treatment Haemophilia can be controlled quite successfully today by regular injections of a given clotting factor such as Factor VIII edit Causes Haemophilia is generally caused by a mutation affecting the genes encoding one of the clotting factors . These genes are located on the so-called X chromosome , so haemophilia is a sex-linked trait. Women have two X-chromosomes whereas men have one X and one Y-Chromosome. Since the mutations causing the disease are recessive , a woman carrying the defect on one of her X-chromosomes will not be affected by it, as the equivalent allele on her other chromosome would express itself to produce the necessary clotting factors. However the Y-chromosome in men has no

The most common type of hemophilia is factor VIII deficiency, or hemophilia A. The second most common type is factor IX deficiency or hemophilia B. When a person with hemophilia is injured, he does not bleed harder or faster than normal, but will have prolonged bleeding because he cannot make a firm clot. Small cuts on the skin are usually not a problem, but bleeding in any deeper area can be prolonged. Some bleeding episodes occur as a result of injury, but many occur seemingly without cause.

86. AHF - What Is Hemophilia? Disclaimer Privacy Policy. WHAT IS hemophilia? hemophilia is a disorder caused by an error in a person’s genetic code. hemophilia is a lifelong disorder. http://www.ahfinfo.com/ahfinfo/whatishemophilia.html

AHF, Inc. E-MAIL: info@ahfinfo.com AHF® Inc. Privacy Policy WHAT IS HEMOPHILIA? This special genetic code, passed to an unborn child, is supposed to signal a series of steps that help control bleeding by clotting. The steps needed to form a clot depend upon a series of proteins called factors. This error in genetic code means that some of the factors are missing or that they are not working correctly in a person with hemophilia. This causes people with hemophilia to bleed longer but not faster. Surface bleeds, on the outside of the body, are fairly easy to stop, even for people with hemophilia. Internal bleeding, such as bleeding into joints or muscles, can mean that it is only possible for a clot to form after the person has taken medication called clotting factor. More than 15,000 people have hemophilia A or hemophilia B in the United States. There are other bleeding disorders where one or more of the clotting factors is missing. People with hemophilia A are missing factor VIII and those with hemophilia B are missing factor IX, others may be missing factors I, II, VII, etc. There are also other bleeding disorders. The most common of which is von Willebrand disease, and many more people have von Willebrand disease than have hemophilia. Individuals with bleeding disorders can be missing a little, a lot, or almost all of that particular factor needed to form clots and stop bleeding. These are called mild, moderate, and severe levels of disorder. The level of severity will predict how often a person will develop a bleed, how difficult it will be for them to form a clot, and how much clotting medication they will need in order to form a clot.

88. Hemophilia Clinical Trials And New Treatments Explains the importance of participating in hemophilia clinical trials and how even participants who take placebos contribute and benefit from volunteering. http://www.hemophilia-clinical-trials.com/

Hemophilia Clinical Trials and New Treatments Hemophilia is a blood disorder that interferes with the blood clotting process. People with hemophilia either lack the clotting factors needed to stop bleeding, or possess abnormal clotting factors. The disease is usually inherited, and affects men far more often than women. Hemophiliacs bleed for longer when injured than people with normal levels of clotting factors. Internal bleeding is a serious problem, and people with severe hemophilia may bleed into muscles and joints several times a week. Despite popular belief, hemophilia does not make people bleed faster, rather the blood takes longer to clot. Clinical Trial Research and Hemophilia Treatments for hemophilia focus on replacing the missing clotting factors. Such treatments require intravenous doses of clotting factors, and in severe cases are required several times a week. Clinical trials are investigating gene therapy treatments for hemophilia, in the hopes of discovering longer-lasting and more effective treatments. While gene therapy research continues, other clinical trials investigate new methods of producing clotting factors. One of the most recent hemophilia treatments, ADVATE Antihemophilic Factor (Recombinant) was approved by the FDA in 2003 after successful clinical trials. ADVATE is used to prevent bleeding, and to prepare people with hemophilia for surgery. ADVATE research led to the use of genetically altered ovaries from Chinese hamsters, which produce a clotting agent called Factor VIII. Clinical research trials proved the new treatment and its production safe for human use.

Blood-clotting factors are needed to help stop bleeding after a cut or injury and to prevent spontaneous bleeding. The hemophilia gene can contain many different errors, leading to different degrees of abnormality in the amount of clotting factor produced. There are two major types of hemophilia: Hemophilia A is caused by a deficiency of active clotting factor VIII (8). Approximately 80% of all people with hemophilia have type A, and most of these cases are severe. Approximately 1 out of every 5,000 male babies is born with hemophilia A.

Most people recognize hemophilia as the “bleeder’s disease.” But few understand the intense physical, financial, and emotional strain it puts on a family. These challenges are the reasons the Kentucky Hemophilia Foundation was created. What, exactly, is hemophilia? Hemophilia is a bleeding disorder that affects 1 of every 7,500 males form birth. A similar disorder, von Willebrand disease, affects both males and females equally. Bleeding disorders result in spontaneous and prolonged bleeding due to the lack of clotting factors in the blood. They are chronic disorders, for which there is no cure Kentucky Hemophilia Foundation, Inc. 982 Eastern Parkway Louisville, KY 40217 (502) 634-9995 (FAX) 1 (800) 582-CURE (2873) info@kyhemo.org Home About Us Programs/Services ...

Other Resources Hemophilia Print Format Hemophilia is a disorder in which one of the 11 blood-clotting factors is missing or reduced, resulting in bruising and bleeding. Caused by a sex-linked defective gene, it affects about one in 5,000 boys born in the United States. Although hemophilia typically is inherited, a third of the cases may result from a new genetic mutation. The most common type of hemophilia, caused by a lack of clotting factor VIII, is called hemophilia A or classic hemophilia. The second most common type is caused by a lack of clotting factor IX and is called hemophilia B or Christmas disease, named for Stephen Christmas, the first person diagnosed with the factor IX deficiency. Hemophilia A and B occur almost always in boys. A third, very rare type of hemophilia, called Hemophilia C, is caused by a lack of clotting factor XI and can occur in both girls and boys. At UCSF Children's Hospital, the pediatric Hemophilia Treatment Center offers the most comprehensive care for children with hemophilia throughout Northern California. Through our research, we also provide the latest advances in treating complications of the disease.

Northern Alberta Comprehensive Hemophilia Clinic Welcome to our Home Page Last update 29 June 1999 The Northern Alberta Comprehensive Hemophilia Clinic has been in existence since 1978. It was formed by the Province of Alberta, under the leadership of the Minister of Health, the Alberta Chapter of the Canadian Hemophilia Society, and their medical consultant, Dr. Garner King. It was charged with the task of providing high quality comprehensive care for people with hemophilia, providing education to families and treaters of hemophilia, and performing research. The clinic has been successful in moving treatment of hemophilia to an outpatient setting, placing control of treatment in the hands of the patients, and providing comprehensive care to people with this disorder. This has resulted in dramatic improvement in efficiencies of care, improved management of hemophilia, improvements in the lifestyle of people with hemophilia, and better relationships between treaters and patients. Comprehensive Clinics are held once a month on the first Monday afternoon of the month in the General Clinics, on the first floor of the Walter McKenzie Center. Comprehensive Clinics are attended by the nurse coordinator, a physiotherapist, a social worker, a representative of the dental clinic, an orthopedic surgeon , and a hematologist. Surveillance clinics are held on intervening Mondays. Members of the Northern Alberta Comprehensive Hemophilia Clinic Wilma McClure RN , Nurse Coordinator Dr. John Akabutu
