One of the largest therapeutic problem during the continuous treatment of the patients with Hemophilia A and B, are viral infections as Hepatitis B and C, and HIV, and the other infective diseases, which can be transmitted by the transfusion of blood products. The aim of this study is to analyze the complications of the hemophiliacs in Kosovo which have been treated with fresh frozen plasma, cr...

Background: Hemophilia B is an X-linked recessive coagulation disorder caused by factor IX deficiency. Analysis of factor IX gene polymorphisms is considered the best approach for prenatal diagnosis and carrier detection of hemophilia B where the identification of gene mutation is not easily possible. Objective: To study the frequency of three factor IX-linked restriction fragment length polymo...

Hemophilia is an X-linked inherited bleeding disorder consisting of two classifications, hemophilia A and hemophilia B, depending on the underlying mutation. Although the disease is currently treatable with intravenous delivery of replacement recombinant clotting factor, this approach represents a significant cost both monetarily and in terms of quality of life. Gene therapy is an attractive al...

background: hemophilia b is an x-linked hereditary disorder of blood coagulation system which is caused by factor ix (fix) deficiency. factor ix is a plasma glycoprotein that participates in the coagulation process leading to the generation of fibrin. replacement of factor ix with plasma-derived or recombinant factor ix is the conventional treatment for hemophilia b to raise the factor ix level...

Hemophilia is a hemorrhagic trend affects mostly males (X-related recessive disease). In 85% of cases it is caused by factor VIII deficiency, being called hemophilia A or classic hemophilia. In approximately 15% of cases there is factor IX deficiency (hemophilia B).[1-3] Hemophilia B is characterized into severe (<1%), moderate (1%–5%), or mild (5%–40%) phenotypes in light of the plasma compone...

Hemophilia B is a bleeding disorder caused by a deficiency of clotting factor IX (FIX). A colony of FIX deficient Lhasa Apso dogs has been established and the molecular basis of hemophilia B has been determined. The plasma factor IX levels were < 1% of normal canine levels in affected dogs. A complex deletion mutation at nucleotides 772-777 was found when hepatocyte cDNA from a hemophilia B dog...

Individuals with hemophilia are deficient in one of the clotting factor proteins that are vital in the formation of a clot. Classic hemophilia or hemophilia A is a deficiency of factor VIII, while Christmas Disease or Hemophilia B is a deficiency of factor IX. The deficiency of one of these proteins comes about because of a mutation on the X chromosome. Patients with both types of hemophilia ar...

BACKGROUND People with severe hemophilia A or B, X-linked bleeding disorders due to decreased blood levels of coagulants, suffer recurrent bleeding into joints and soft tissues. Before clotting factor concentrates were available, most people with severe hemophilia developed crippling musculoskeletal deformities. Clotting factor concentrate prophylaxis aims to preserve joint function by converti...

Hemophilia A and B are the most common of the severe bleeding disorders. The present article focuses on the practical aspects of the management of neonates and children diagnosed with hemophilia, and is based on questions frequently posed to paediatric hematologists. It highlights the importance of early diagnosis, the principle of early intervention and the role of comprehensive care hemophili...
