| Abstract | ||||
| Background : Hemophilia A is present in most patients with severe bleeding problems. Hemophilia A arises when the body does not produce enough factor VIII protein. When patients present with heavy bleeding, state that it is possible that they have endured trauma. Definition : Inherited hemophilia is the most common of the severe hereditary bleeding diseases. People who suffer from hemophilia A, a condition brought on by an insufficiency or dysfunction of the factor VIII protein, experience excessive and prolonged bleeding in the absence of significant trauma or even as a spontaneous bleed. Acquired hemophilia, which may sometimes appear due to age or childbirth, can be cured with the right medicine There is no ethnic group on our planet where hemophilia is not common. Hemophilia affects an estimated one out of every 10,000 live births, and an estimated three hundred thousand people throughout the globe are affected by it . Hemophilia A, not hemophilia B, affects 80% to 15% of the population. It was present in 1% of live male infants. The disease tends to cluster in nations with high rates of consanguineous marriage, such as Egypt, due to its X-linked inheritance pattern. Recent advances in diagnosis and treatment have given patients hope for a normal lifetime | ||||
