Factor X

after an injury. Hemophilia commonly is of two types –A and B (uncommon is haemophilia C). There are various clotting factors in blood which are required for clotting of blood in the event of an injury. Deficiency of certain clotting factors can impair the clotting mechanism and increase the bleeding time. Hemophilia A is deficiency of clotting Factor VIII in blood. Hemophilia B is deficiency ofclotting factor IX in blood. Both haemophilia A and B are X linked recessive disease. The incidence of haemophilia A is 1:5000 males and that of haemophilia B is 1:25000 males making haemophilia A much more common that hemohilia B. They affect all races equally. Since haemophilia…

The treatment depends on the severity of hemophilia. For small cuts or scrapes applying pressure and bandaging the wound can help. In order to stop prolonged bleeding, there are therapies to help depending on the type of hemophilia. For mild hemophilia A, injections of the hormone desmopressin (DDAVP) into the veins can stimulate the release of clotting factors which can stop the bleeding. For moderate to severe hemophilia A or B an infusion from donated blood or genetically engineered products…

Introduction Originating from the Greek words ‘haima’, meaning blood, and ‘philia’, meaning friend, hemophilia is a medical condition in which the individual lacks a certain clotting factor which prevents bleeding as a result of injury. In order of rarity from most to least, it features type A, B and C hemophilia and various severity levels. Type A hemophilia consists of 90% of cases, in which the individual lacks clotting factor VIII and 70% of patients have a severe level of hemophilia.…

Hemophilia A Hemophilia A, also known as classic hemophilia, is a bleeding disorder in which the clotting factor VIII is missing or defective. (“Hemophilia A”) This results in excessive bleeding after minor or traumatic injuries and can become fatal. Hemophilia A is a sex-linked recessive disorder, meaning that it must be inherited through the X sex chromosome.

Partial thromboplastin time (PTT) is a measure of a time that is required by plasma to form a clot when it comes in contact with agents which activates the contact factors. PTT assesses intrinsic and common pathway of coagulation. Prothrombin time ( PT) measures the time needed for plasma to form a clot in the presence of tissue factor. PT evaluates extrinsic and common pathway of…

due to having little to no clotting factor. In rare cases, hemophilia can occur in females or even be obtained. Hemophilia exists in two forms – hemophilia A and hemophilia B. Hemophilia A and B are caused by a defect in the genes F8 and F9, respectively. The F8 gene is responsible for making a specific protein called coagulation factor VIII, and the F9 gene for the making of a related protein, coagulation IX. These proteins serve a vital role in the human body for which they aid in the…
