Abstract
Hemophilia (hereditary bleeding) is the result of a genetic mutation in
the X chromosome, a deficiency in platelet protein, or one of the clotting
factors in it is defective, as the deficiency of factor VIII represents 85% and
factor IX represents 15%, the causes of it may be either genetic or the result
of a mutation in the chromosome, whose symptoms are internal or external bleeding.
Symptoms of hemophilia include severe bleeding, bruising, or bleeding after
surgery, and they vary in their severity to mild, moderate and severe, and from
their types according to the severity of the injury, to hemophilia A, which is
the most common, and hemophilia, which occurs as a result of a deficiency of
factor IX B, and acquired hemophilia, which begins after puberty and the cause
of which is unknown. They are diagnosed through family medical history,
clinical examination, and blood analysis to measure levels of clotting factors
such as factor measurement and genetic testing. Among the complications of the
disease are bleeding in the brain, damage to the guillotines, and deep internal
bleeding, and advances in the treatment of hemophilia were noticeable at the
beginning of the third millennium, there are effective treatments that can help
control symptoms and prevent complications, including preventive therapy,
alternative therapy, or fibrin patches.
