Hemophilia is a bleeding disorder that can lead to death if hemorrhage occurs.
Hemophilia is an X-chromosome-linked recessive inherited bleeding disorder. It is caused by a defect in the coagulation factor VIII (FⅧ) gene or the coagulation factor IX (FⅨ) gene in the body, resulting in a deficiency of FⅧ or FⅨ, which leads to lifelong abnormalities in coagulation and a lifelong tendency to bleed.
Since hemophilia is a hereditary bleeding disorder, patients can develop the disease from birth, and it will be present for the rest of their lives. If patients do not receive standardized treatment, they have a high rate of disability and death. Patients who receive standard treatment are likely to have relatively normal growth and development, can minimize fatal bleeding, and have a life expectancy close to that of a normal person.
Therefore, patients with hemophilia need standardized treatment under the supervision of a physician to improve their quality of life as much as possible.
