Hemophilia A Complications
-
Chronic joint deformities, caused by recurrent bleeding into the joint, may be managed by an orthopedic specialist. These problems sometimes require joint replacement
- Recurrent transfusions may increase the risk of contracting HIV and hepatitis, especially prior to 1985 when blood screening procedures were improved for detecting the HIV virus. However, new heat processing treatment makes factor VIII material free of the HIV virus and thus safe for use.
-
Intracerebral hemorrhage is another possible complication (see deep intracerebral hemorrhage, lobar intracerebral hemorrhage).
