Females can get Hemophilia but this is rarer.]]> 2019-03-29 04:01:21 UTC https://padlet.com/eustacio_mata1/a0lyvatteqs9/wish/346412325 eustacio_mata1 https://padlet.com/eustacio_mata1/a0lyvatteqs9/wish/346412423 This disorder causes individuals to bleed much more than usual, whether it's external or internal. The cases of hemophilia range from mild to extreme, depending on the amount of bleeding. It is also possible to affect the joints when bleeding happens over and over into the joint capsule, breaking down the bone in that area and causing arthritis.]]> 2019-03-29 04:02:11 UTC https://padlet.com/eustacio_mata1/a0lyvatteqs9/wish/346412423 angeldejesus_duraz https://padlet.com/eustacio_mata1/a0lyvatteqs9/wish/346413468 The main treatment for hemophilia is called replacement therapy. These infusions help replace the clotting factor that's missing or low. But unfortunately Hemophilia isn't curable, but there a small number of people with hemophilia who have had liver transplants and their hemophilia has been cured. This is because clotting factor is made in the liver.]]> 2019-03-29 04:10:55 UTC https://padlet.com/eustacio_mata1/a0lyvatteqs9/wish/346413468 eustacio_mata1 https://padlet.com/eustacio_mata1/a0lyvatteqs9/wish/346414290 Patients with hemophilia A have a life expectancy close to those without as long as they have proper treatment.

Without treatment, it they wouldn't be able to reach adulthood. As recent as December 2017, scientists were able to use gene therapy for hemophilia.]]> 2019-03-29 04:23:55 UTC https://padlet.com/eustacio_mata1/a0lyvatteqs9/wish/346415290 angeldejesus_duraz https://padlet.com/eustacio_mata1/a0lyvatteqs9/wish/346417038 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haemophilia_A
