What Are The Different Types of Hemophilia, And How Do They Differ? Dr. Banda Teja

Curious about the different types of hemophilia? Dr. Banda Ravi Teja, Consultant Medical Oncologist at Continental Hospitals, breaks down Hemophilia A, B, and C and explains their differences.
- What are some potential complications of hemophilia?
Potential complications of hemophilia include bleeding into the joints, bleeding into the organs, and excessive bleeding following surgery or an injury. Bleeding into the joints, if not treated, can lead to painful swelling and chronic arthritis. Bleeding into the organs, especially the brain, can result in fatal complications. Excessive blood loss due to surgery or injury can cause chronic anemia.

- How are these complications managed?
Managing hemophilia complications involves prompt and effective treatment to prevent severe outcomes. For bleeding into the joints, immediate treatment with clotting factor replacement can reduce pain and prevent arthritis. Bleeding into organs requires emergency medical intervention, often involving high doses of clotting factors. In cases of surgery or injury, careful planning and adequate clotting factor replacement are essential to manage blood loss and prevent anemia.
- What are the types of hemophilia?
Hemophilia is primarily categorized into two types: Hemophilia A and Hemophilia B. Hemophilia A is caused by the absence or reduced levels of factor 8, a clotting factor. Hemophilia B is caused by the absence or reduced levels of factor 9, another clotting factor. There is also a rare type called Hemophilia C, which involves a deficiency in factor 11.
- How is hemophilia diagnosed?
Hemophilia is diagnosed through blood tests that measure the levels of clotting factors. Tests like PT (Prothrombin Time), APTT (Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time), and specific assays for factor 8 and factor 9 levels help determine the presence and severity of hemophilia. A complete blood count is also performed to rule out platelet deficiencies.
- What is the importance of early diagnosis?
Early diagnosis is crucial in hemophilia to prevent complications and manage the condition effectively. Timely treatment with clotting factor replacement can reduce the risk of joint damage, organ bleeding, and severe blood loss during surgeries or injuries, thereby improving the quality of life for individuals with hemophilia.
