Haemophilia (British English), or hemophilia (American English) [6] (from Ancient Greek αἷμα (haîma) 'blood' and φιλία (philía) 'love of'), [7] is a mostly inherited genetic disorder that impairs the body's ability to make blood clots, a process needed to stop bleeding. [2][3] This results in people bleeding for a ...

  3. Haemophilia B - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haemophilia_B

    Haemophilia B. This condition is inherited in an X-linked recessive manner. Haemophilia B, also spelled hemophilia B, is a blood clotting disorder causing easy bruising and bleeding due to an inherited mutation of the gene for factor IX, and resulting in a deficiency of factor IX. It is less common than factor VIII deficiency (haemophilia A). [3]

  4. Factor VII deficiency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Factor_VII_deficiency

    Factor VII deficiency is a bleeding disorder characterized by a lack in the production of Factor VII (FVII) (proconvertin), a protein that causes blood to clot in the coagulation cascade. After a trauma factor VII initiates the process of coagulation in conjunction with tissue factor (TF/factor III) in the extrinsic pathway. [citation needed]

  5. Haemophilia A - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haemophilia_A

    Haemophilia A (or hemophilia A) is a blood clotting disorder caused by a genetic deficiency in clotting factor VIII, thereby resulting in significant susceptibility to bleeding, both internally and externally. This condition occurs almost exclusively in males born to carrier mothers due to X-linked recessive inheritance.

  7. Acquired haemophilia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acquired_haemophilia

    Acquired haemophilia A (AHA) is a rare but potentially life-threatening bleeding disorder characterized by autoantibodies directed against coagulation factor VIII.These autoantibodies constitute the most common spontaneous inhibitor to any coagulation factor and may induce spontaneous bleeding in patients with no previous history of a bleeding disorder.

  8. Recombinant factor VIIa - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recombinant_factor_VIIa

    KEGG. D00172. Recombinant factor VIIa (rfVIIa) is a form of blood factor VII that has been manufactured via recombinant technology. [4][5] It is administered via an injection into a vein. [6][4][5] It is used to treat bleeding episodes in people who have acquired haemophilia, among other indications. [7] There are several disimilar forms, and ...
