Abstract

A five year survey of the treatment of patients in the United Kingdom suffering from haemophilia and related disorders was carried out on behalf of the directors of haemophilia centres. The survey showed an increase in the number of patients receiving treatment from the centres, a substantial increase in the total amount of therapeutic materials used, and an increase in the average amount of factor VIII or factor IX used yearly per patient. Home treatment became established for severely affected patients and accounted for roughly half of the total amount of material used. Study of the acquisition of factor VIII or factor IX antibodies (inhibitors) in patients with haemophilia A or haemophilia B showed no increase in antibodies during the survey period, despite the increased use of factor VIII and factor IX concentrates. The occurrence of acute hepatitis in treated patients was also studied and no increased incidence was observed. A near normal median expectation of life in patients with severe haemophilia A was found.

Blood Clotting Disorders

Thrombophilia includes conditions with increased tendency for excessive blood clotting. Blood clotting occurs when the body has insufficient amounts of specialized proteins that make blood clot and stop bleeding. Here is the latest research on blood clotting disorders.
