Patient's question:
I went to the hospital for a check-up, and the doctor said I have Hemophilia A. I want to know what causes my Hemophilia A? Does anyone in my family have Hemophilia A? What symptoms usually occur?Doctor's answer:
Shao Enlin and others first reported this disease in the 18th century and first introduced the concept of "hemophilia." Factor VIII is a globulin in the plasma. It exists in a non-covalent form fused with von Willebrand factor (vWF) in the plasma. The deficiency of factors VIII, IX, and X can increase the production of prothrombinase in the first stage of the coagulation process, leading to coagulation disorders and bleeding tendencies. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery!
