)2 The other chromosome is likely to be normal and she can therefore compensate for this defect. There are two types of haemophilia‚ haemophilia A and B. Haemophilia A is a hereditary disorder in which bleeding is due to deficiency of the coagulation factor VIII (VIII:C)3. In most of the cases‚ this coagulant protein is reduced but in a rare amount of cases‚ this protein is present by immunoassay but defective. Haemophilia A is the most common severe bleeding disorder and approximately 1 in

It is prescribed on a long-term basis to

This disease occurs when there is damage to the skeletal muscle. The breakdown products of damaged muscle cells‚ such as myoglobin‚ are harmful to the kidneys and frequently result in kidney damage or even kidney failure

Since ligaments do not have a considerable amount of blood or nerve supply‚ if they become injured their limited blood supply results in a longer recovery and healing period.

However‚ they have well documented draw backs and necessitate routine coagulation monitoring. These drawbacks alongside an increased understanding of the coagulation pathway have pushed the research and development of new anticoagulant agents.
