Hemophilia is a congenital X-linked bleeding disorder in which blood does not properly clot. It is categorized as a disorder of hemostasis. Hemostasis, the stopping of bleeding after a blood vessel is injured, normally is divided into two separate processes—primary and secondary hemostasis. In hemophilia, secondary hemostasis (which essentially results in the formation of a fibrin clot) is defected. Thus, deficient clotting is due to an abnormality of the functional plasma-clotting proteins, factors VIII and IX, that are involved in this process. <ref name="DD">Goodman CC, Snyder TEK.

Definition/Description[edit | edit source]
Hemophilia is a congenital X-linked bleeding disorder in which blood does not properly clot. It is categorized as a disorder of hemostasis. Hemostasis, the stopping of bleeding after a blood vessel is injured, normally is divided into two separate processes—primary and secondary hemostasis. In hemophilia, secondary hemostasis (which essentially results in the formation of a fibrin clot) is defected. Thus, deficient clotting is due to an abnormality of the functional plasma-clotting proteins, factors VIII and IX, that are involved in this process. [1]
