What is Hemophilia?
• HEMO = BLEEDING• PHILIA = LOVE
• Hemophilia = The Love of Bleeding
What is Hemophilia?
• Hemophilia is a hereditary bleeding disorder caused by deficiency of coagulation factor VIII, IX or XI.
• The deficiency is the result of mutations in the respective clotting factor genes.

Types
• Hemophilia A 80%– Classic hemophilia – Factor VIII deficiency
• Hemophilia B 20%– Christmas disease – Factor IX deficiency
• Hemophilia C Very rare– Factor XI deficiency

Incidence
• Hemophilia is quite rare.• Mainly affects males.
• Hemophilia A: 1 in 10,000 live births.• Hemophilia B: 1 in 50,000 live births.

Genetics
• Hemophilia inheritance is classically described as an X linked recessive trait, leading to mutation in F8 or F9 gene.
• Mainly affects males.• Females are usually carriers.
• However, spontaneous mutations are described in 20-30% of hemophiliacs.
Different Cases1. Carrier Mother + Non-hemophiliac Father
Each pregnancy has a 25% chance of resulting in a female non-carrier, a 25% chance of a female carrier, a 25% chance of non-hemophiliac male, and a 25% chance of a male with hemophilia.
Different Cases2. Non-carrier Mother + Father With Hemophilia
Each pregnancy has a 50% chance of a female carrier and a 50% chance of a non-hemophiliac male.
Sons of hemophiliac fathers and non-carrier mothers will not have hemophilia (their X is always maternal).
Different Cases3. Carrier Mother + Father With Hemophilia
Each pregnancy has a 25% chance of a female carrier, a 25% chance of a female with hemophilia, a 25% chance of a non-hemophiliac male, and a 25% chance of a male with hemophilia.
Different Cases4. Mother With Hemophilia + Father With Hemophilia
Each pregnancy has a 50% chance of resulting in a female with hemophilia and a 50% chance of resulting in a male with hemophilia.
Different Cases5. Mother With Hemophilia + Non-hemophiliac Father
Each pregnancy has a 50% chance of resulting in a female carrier and a 50% chance of resulting in a male with hemophilia.
How is a female affected?
• Mother With Hemophilia + Father With Hemophilia.
• Carrier Mother + Father With Hemophilia.• Turner syndrome (45 X0).• Lyonised (inactive) X chromosome.
N.B. Carriers usually have enough clotting factors from their normal X chromosome which prevent serious bleeding problems.

Clinical presentation
• The characteristic phenotype in hemophilia is the bleeding tendency.
• History of bleeding is usually life-long.• The severity of bleeding in hemophilia is
generally correlated with the clotting factor level.
Clinical presentation
Severity Factor VIII level PresentationMild 5-30% of normal
(0.05-0.25 IU/ml)-Severe bleeding after major trauma or surgery-Spontaneous bleeding is rare-May be asymptomatic
Moderate 1-5% of normal(0.01-0.05 IU/ml)
-Prolonged bleeding after minor trauma or surgery-Occasional spontaneous bleeding
Severe <1% of normal(<0.01 IU/ml)
-Spontaneous bleeding into joints or muscles, without identifiable hemostatic challenge-May be serious & life threatening

Investigations
• Platelet count: Normal• Bleeding time: Normal• PT: Normal• Clotting time & PTT: Prolonged• Factor VIII or Factor IX assay: Decreased

Management
• Prevention of bleeding episodes.• Replacement therapy.• Prophylactic therapy.• Other lines of therapy.• Management of complications.
Management
• Prevention of bleeding episodes.• Replacement therapy.• Prophylactic therapy.• Other lines of therapy.• Management of complications.
1. Prevention of bleeding episodes.
• Toys that do not have sharp edges.• Using soft and stuffed toys.• Padding the crib.• Using helmets & pads to protect elbows and
knees.• Avoid games like football.• Using soft tooth brushes.• Careful usage of sharp razors.• Wear Medic Alert ID.
Management
• Prevention of bleeding episodes.• Replacement therapy.• Prophylactic therapy.• Other lines of therapy.• Management of complications.
2. Replacement therapy
• Indication:Bleeding or Injury
2. Replacement therapy
• Fresh whole blood• Whole plasma• Fresh Frozen Plasma• Cryoprecipitate• Factor VIII or IX Concentrate• Recombinant Factor VII (Novo-Seven): to
bypass factor VIII in the coagulation pathway
Factor VIII Concentrate
• Factor VIII Concentrate:20 U/kg increases the level by ± 50%.
Clinical Situation Raise factor VIII up toMild bleeding 20-40%
Severe or life threatening bleeding
100%
Management
• Prevention of bleeding episodes.• Replacement therapy.• Prophylactic therapy.• Other lines of therapy.• Management of complications.
3. Prophylactic therapy
• Indication:Before surgeryAfter exposure to trauma
• Lines:ReplacementOther lines
Management
• Prevention of bleeding episodes.• Replacement therapy.• Prophylactic therapy.• Other lines of therapy.• Management of complications.
4. Other lines of therapy
• Desmopressin:
- Action: stimulates the release of stored factor VIII and von Willebrand factor. von Willebrand factor carries and binds factor VIII, which then can stay in the blood stream longer.
-Administration: Injection or Nasal spray.
-Use:Before dental work.For treating mild bleeding from the mouth or nose.
4. Other lines of therapy
• EACA (e –amino caproic acid): - Action: Antifibrinolytic delays clot lysis
-Use: Adjuvant therapy for dental procedures
4. Other lines of therapy
• Fibrin Glue: - Action: Contains fibrinogen, thrombin and factor XIII. Placed in the site of injury to stabilize clot.
-Use: Dental procedures and after circumcision

Hemophilia AND Pregnancy
• Pre-conceptional management.• Antenatal management.• Management during delivery.
Pre-conceptional management
• Counseling:Whenever the mother has hemophilia A or B, all of her sons will have the disease, and all of her daughters will be carriers. If she is a carrier, half of her sons will inherit the disease and half of her daughters will be carriers.
• Pre-implantation genetic diagnosis: has been recently introduced for hemophilia since 2007.
Antenatal management
• Prenatal diagnosis: by CVS. • Bleeding: presents according to severity
of factor deficiency.• Desmopressin: Class B (some studies).
• Carriers: show increased levels of both factors VIII and IX.
Management during delivery
• Time: according to obstetric indication.
• Route: according to obstetric indication.
• Reduce risk of bleeding by: avoiding lacerations, minimizing episiotomy use and size, and by maximizing postpartum myometrial contractions and retraction.
Management during delivery
• Newborn: An affected male fetus may develop hematomas with either vaginal or cesarean delivery.
After delivery, the risk of hemorrhage in the neonate increases, especially if circumcision is attempted.

Historical Facts
• First reference of hemophilia are mentioned in Jewish texts in the 2nd century AD by Rabbi Simon ben Gamaliel who correctly deduced that sons of a mother -that he did not know at that time- was a hemophilic carrier bled to death after circumcision. Hence he made a ruling that exempted a 3rd newborn Jewish boy of this ritual if 2 previous brothers bled to death from circumcision.
Historical Facts
• In 1800 John Otto wrote a description of the disease where he clearly appreciated the cardinal features: an inherited tendency of males to bleed.
• In 1928 the word Hemophilia was defined.
Historical Facts
• Hemophilia is known as:
“The Royal disease”
