Hemophilia

Hemophilia Haemophilia is an inherited hemorrhagic disease. (1, 36) (2, 759) (3, 529) (5, ____) (6) (7) (8) (10) (12) (13) (14) Hemophilia is a disease in which blood can not be treated, To condense. (1,36) (3,529) (2, 759) (5, ____) (6) (10) (13) "Hemo" means blood, "Fira" means preference. (6) (7) These proteins are called coagulation factors when most people cut through the platelets, close the pores, absorb the protein in the blood and release the protein activating chemicals. (6) Protein mixes with platelets to make fibers, fiber strengthens blood clot and stops bleeding. (6) Hemophilia is a defect in one of 12 blood coagulation factors.

There are two types of hemophilia: hemophilia A and hemophilia B. Haemophilia A, also known as "classical hemophilia", is caused by the deficiency of factor VII1. This is the most common form of haemophilia. The second type of haemophilia is hemophilia B, also called "Christmas disease". Hemophilia B is caused by a deficiency of factor IX. Both types of hemophilia are characterized by prolonged bleeding, especially joints, muscles, internal organs, and even cerebral hemorrhage.

According to the National Hemophilia Foundation, the two main types of hemophilia are A and B. A is Factor VIII deficiency, Hemophilia B is Factor IX deficiency, and Hemophilia C is Factor XI deficiency. A woman inherits two XX chromosomes. One is from her mother and the other is a chromosome from her father (XX). Male inherits XY chromosome from father (XY). This means that if the son inherits the X chromosome from the mother of hemophilia, he will become haemophilia. However, since women accept two X chromosomes, only the parent with the defective gene will develop the disease.

Men with hemophilia genes on the X chromosome become haemophilia. If there is only one hemophilia gene on the X chromosome, that woman is a "haemophilia vector" and you can pass that gene to your child. Sometimes carriers have low levels of coagulation factors and have symptoms of haemophilia including bleeding. Protein in blood coagulation factor blood stops or suppresses bleeding by platelets. If you or your child has bleeding problems, your doctor asks about your personal and family medical history. This will reveal bleeding problems including you and your family, women and girls. However, some people with haemophilia recently have no family history of this disease.

The National Institute of Cardiopulmonary Blood Research (NHLBI) is leading or sponsors a number of studies for the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of heart, lung, blood, and sleep disorders.
