Hemophilia is a bleeding disorder caused by a defective of the chromosomes. Hemophilia happens when ones inherits problems with certain blood-clotting factors. Hemophilia occurs in 2 forms, hemophilia A and B. In both forms, a factor gets defected. The defective factor interferes with the ability of the body to produce the clotting factors that allow for normal clotting.
There are symptoms of Hemophillia. There are :
• Spontaneous bleeding after an injury
• Bleeding in urine and stool
• Prolonged bleeding after the umbilical cord is cut at birth
• Bleeding into joints and associated pain and swelling
• Bleeding in muscle
• Bleeding after dental work
The common treatment for hemophilia is replacing the clotting factor that is too low or missing. We use two clotting factors in replacement therapy which comes from two sources: one clotting factor products are derived from human blood plasma. Clotting factors from human blood plasma have a little chance of being polluted with viruses such as HIV and hepatitis; therefore we use the other recombinant DNA technique. This process is carried out in aseptic production facilities where the clotting factor factors are grown synthetically.
