Podcast 529: Hemophilia

Contributor: Aaron Lessen, MD

Educational Pearls:

  • Hemophilia is characterized by bleeding (A /B) A is is 8, B (chrstmas, 9)
  • Hemophilia refers to a group of bleeding disorders caused by a deficiency in a certain clotting factor. The two most common are hemophilia A (caused by a lack of factor VIII), and B (caused by a lack of factor 9)
  • Most cases are inherited in an X-linked recessive manner. Therefore, males are the most commonly affected. However, spontaneous cases do occur in all sexes.
  • People with hemophilia can present to the ED with a variety of bleeding complications including hemarthrosis, intracranial hemorrhage, and GI bleeds.
  • Treatment is guided by the type of hemophilia and the degree of bleeding, with the most severe cases being treated with replacement of 100% of that person's deficient clotting factor.
  • Timely treatment improves outcomes, so consider empiric therapy in those with known hemophilia
