Hemophilia: Etiology, complications, and current options in management.
- Authors
Stachnik, Joan
- Abstract
The article focuses on the causes, treatment and complications of hemophilia. Hemophilia is caused by a deficiency of clotting factors. Prompt treatment of bleeding episodes is necessary to prevent the complications of joint or muscle damage. Treatment involves the replacement of the deficient factor through agents such as desmopressin. The use of antifibrinolytics is discussed.
