Hemophilia, Why Some People Bleed Excessively by SmallmebigGod: 8:09am On Nov 24, 2017 |
*WHAT IS HAEMOPHILIA* Haemophilia is an inherited bleeding disorder where the person lacks the ability to form a clot which results in prolong bleeding. Some facts about haemophilia are -persons with haemophilia do not bleed faster but longer -haemophilia is not contagious -one third of cases happens where there is no family -haemophilia affects people of every race, color, tribe and religion *SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS* -post circumcision bleed -umbilical cord bleed -easy bruising -nose bleeds -haematoma (bleeding to the joints) this result in swelling of the joints. *How is haemophilia diagnosed?* If haemophilia is suspected in an individual, the simple laboratory tests at point of care testing include determination of the level of Factor VIII or Factor IX activity in a blood sample. Low levels of factor VIII indicates haemophilia A whereas low levels of factor IX indicate Haemophilia B. The severity of each is classified thus: Severe: Less than 1% of normal factor VIII or factor IX activity in the blood Moderate: 1- 5% of normal Mild: 5 - 30% of normal The less amount of factor VIII or Factor IX produced by the body, the more severe the haemophilia In developed countries, if the mother is a known carrier of hemophilia, testing can be done before a baby is born. Prenatal diagnosis are done at 9 to 11 weeks by chorionic villus sampling (CVS) or by fetal blood sampling at a later stage (18 or more weeks). These tests can be done at a Haemophilia Treatment Centre (HTC). The departments of Haematology and Blood Transfusions at the following hospitals serve as HTCs in Nigeria. They are: - Ahmad Bello University Teaching Hospital, Shika -Lagos University Teaching Hospital, Idi Araba - University of Benin Teaching Hospital, Benin city - University College Hospital, Ibadan - Aminu Kano Teaching Hospital, Kano - University of Nigeria Teaching Hospital, Ituku - State Specialist Hospital, Akure - Gombe Teaching Hospital, Gombe -Nnamdi Azikiwe University Teaching Hospital, Nnewi - Usman Danfodio University Teaching Hospital, Sokoto - Federal Medical Center, Birnin Kebbi - University of Port Harcourt Teaching Hospital, Port Harcourt - Lautech Teaching Hospital, Ogbomosho - Kaduna state University Teaching Hospital, Kaduna Locate the closest HTC to you.

EbubeDam:Identifying the Treatment center is vital. The best form of treatment is with factor viii concentrate or factor if concentrate which is available in most of the institutions up there. If that is not available then cryoprecipitate will be the next option If that is not available FFP as u have mentioned And if that is not available fresh whole blood 3 Likes |
