Hemophilia Research Paper If you get a small papercut, it’s no big deal. Yes, it will hurt for a few minutes, but in a few days it’ll scab over, and be just fine. Unfortunately, it’s not the same case for everyone. There are many blood disorders, but one of the most common is hemophilia. Hemophilia affects over 200,000 people in the US each year. It causes the subject’s blood to not be able to clot properly, and leads to excessive bleeding (external and internal). The excessive bleeding occurs after any injury or damage to the subject. Symptoms include, but aren’t limited to unexplained bleeding, large or deep bruises, joint pain and swelling, and blood in urine or stool. The most common type of hemophilia is hemophilia

More than half the subjects with hemophilia A have the severe form of hemophilia. Bleeds caused by hemophilia can occur internally, into muscles and joints, or externally, from minor cuts, trauma, and even dental procedures. How frequently a person bleeds and the severity of those bleeds strongly depends on how much FVIII is in the subject’s blood.
Mild hemophilia A is 6 % all the way up to 49% of FVII in the blood. Patients with mild hemophilia A generally experience excessive bleeding after serious injury, surgery, or trauma. Very often, it’s not diagnosed until a subject has suffered prolonged bleeding as result of the experiences/actions listed before.
Moderate hemophilia A is 1% to 5% of FVIII in the blood. Moderate hemophilia A subjects tend to have bleeding episodes after injuries. Bleeds that occur without obvious causes are called spontaneous bleeding episodes. These can happen with Moderate hemophilia A.
The most dangerous form of hemophilia is Severe hemophilia A. It’s caused by less than 1% of FVIII in the blood. Patients with severe hemophilia A experience bleeding following most injury and have frequent spontaneous bleeding episodes, often internally into their joints and
