2. Introduction:HAEMOPHILIA
• Commonest inherited bleeding
disorder
• Bleeding due to deficiency of FVIII /
IX / XI coagulant activity
• Severity of bleeding is related to
FVIII / IX /XI concentration in blood
3. INCIDENCE
• 1 per 5,000 male births
• 1 per 10,000 population
• 85 % - F VIII deficiency
• 10- 15 % - F IX deficiency
• Haemophilia A: B= 7:1
6. INHERITANCE
• Father with Haemophilia:
Daughters are carriers Sons normal
• Mother with haemophilia gene (carrier)
Sons 50:50 normal or affected
Daughters 50:50 normal or carriers
7. FEMALES AFFECTED ONLY WHEN:
1) TURNERS SYNDROME
2) MOSAICISM/LYONISATION
3) MOTHER TO DAUGHTER
TRANSMISSION (POSSIBLE
THEORETICALLY BUT EXTREMLY
RARE)
8. Types:
• Haemophilia A – deficiency of Factor VIII
• Haemophilia B – deficiency of Factor IX
• Haemophilia C – deficiency of Factor XI
9. HAEMOPHILIA A & B:
• Basic abnormality :
1. Reduction in amount of protein in
factor
2. Dysfunctional protein
5-10 % Haemophilia A
40-50 % ” ” B
10. Severity of haemophilia
• 1 ml of normal plasma contains 1 unit (U) of each
factor
100 ml plasma contains 100 U/dl (100 % activity)
Severity depends on factor level in blood:
● Severe haemophilia: < 1 U/dl (%)
● Moderate haemophilia: 1-5 U/dl (%)
● Mild haemophilia: 5-30 U/dl (%)
11. Severity of haemophilia
• Haemostatic level of factor VIII: 30-40 U/dl
• ” ” of factor IX: 25-30 U/dl
12. Severity of Haemophilia
Severity Factor Type of presentation
level
iu/dl (%)
Severe <1 Spontaneous bleeds, Severe bleeding
Moderate 1-5 Few bleeds, Haemathrosis - traumatic
Mild 5-30 Few bleeds, Post-traumatic
Post-dental surgery
14. CLINICAL FEATURES – SUBTLE
• Bleeding as a baby rare
• Prolonged bleed from umbilical cord
• Muscle hematoma during immunisation
• Bleeding during circumcision
15. CLINICAL FEATURES – SUBTLE
• Toddlers - Large and prolonged bleed to
trivial injury/cuts/abrasions
• Lip bleeds (hematomas)
• First bleeding in childhood
Tooth extraction
Trauma with walking
Gum bleeds while brushing teeth
16. SIGNIFICANT HEMORRHAGES
• RETROPERITONEAL H’GE: severe abd
pain, anemia and shock
• HEMATURIA
• GI BLEED : difficult to control, severe
• INTRACRANIAL:
extradural, subdural, intracerebral
- Headache, vomiting, altered sensorium ->
coma
• May be seen in neonates
18. CLINICAL FEATURES - FRANK
HEMARTHROSIS (joint bleed) – hallmark of
hemophilia
• Joints affected:
• in toddlers - ankle (most common) – earliest jt
involved due to lack of stability as they assume
upright posture
• Older child – knee, elbow (most common)
** Target joint – recurrent bleeding at a same
joint
• LL > UL
19. CLINICAL FEATURES - FRANK
• Later : all joints
• Contact sports can provoke
• Recurrent – may be unprovoked,
spontaneous
LARGE HEMATOMAS & EXTENSIVE
ECCHYMOSES
20. BLEEDING INTO JOINTS
• First haemorrhage : Swelling >> Pain
• Subsequent haemorrhages: Pain >>
Swelling
23. C/F OF ACUTE HAEMARTHROSIS
• Abnormal sensation
• Pain and swelling of joint
• Limitation of movement - especially
flexion
• Tenderness and heat in the joint
Acute symptoms last 3-4 days; full recovery
takes weeks
24. STAGES
• Initial bleed into joint - haemarthrosis
• Inflammatory stage affecting
Synovium (synovial hypertrophy)
Cartilage - Bone
• Final Stage
Permanent joint changes
Erosion & destruction Cartilage, Bone -
Knees** ,Ankles** , Elbows*
Wrists
Shoulders less common
Hips
25. Chronic Haemophilic Arthropathy
• Repeated bleeds - many years
Chronic degenerative changes
• Chronic haemophilic arthritis → Loss
of joint movement → Fixed flexion
contractures → Severe muscle wasting
→ Muscle action imbalance →Valgus
deformities → Crippling deformities →
Wheel chair-bound
26. Chronic Haemophilic Arthropathy – Radiological
Changes
• Epiphyseal overgrowth
• Enlargement of bone ends
• Loss of cartilage (joint space)
• Gross irregularity articular surface
–Subchondral collapse
–Subchondral cysts
–Osteophyte formation
–Osteoporosis
–Changes in joint alignment
27. HAEMOPHILIC PSEUDO TUMOURS (BLOOD
CYSTS)
• Cysts within the fascial muscle envelope
• Cysts arising in muscles
• Cysts arising from sub-periosteal
haemorrhage
• Pseudo tumours in bone
• Gross destruction of normal architecture
of bone
• Large bone cysts
• Pathological fracture
29. Lab findings:
• Hb low – proportional to blood loss
• Platelets- normal
• Bleeding time -normal
• PT normal
• APTT prolonged > 2-3 times ULN
• CT prolonged
• Low levels of F VIII / IX
• Factor VIII and IX assay : mixing studies
• Genetic analysis
30. MIXING STUDIES
• To determine if prolonged PT or PTT is due to
a factor deficiency or an inhibitor
• Normal plasma : all Clotting factors-V,VIII,
IX,X,XI,XII
• Method: add patient plasma to equal volume
of normal plasma and repeat PT & PTT
• Correction of PT & PTT – suggests- deficiency
of clotting factors
• Assays for factors
31. MIXING STUDIES
• Remains prolonged after mixing study:
indicates inhibitor - most common is
lupus anticoagulant
- therapeutic anticoagulant
- rarely ,inhibitors to factors VIII, IX, XI
32. MIXING STUDIES
• With normal /adsorbed plasma/aged plasma
• Normal plasma : all factor present
• Adsorbed plasma : FIX- deficient
• Aged plasma - FVIII- deficient
• Mix patient’s plasma with normal /aged/
adsorbed plasma –
• Correction of APTT with normal & aged
plasma/ not with adsorbed plasma F IX
deficiency
33. • Correction of APTT with normal /
adsorbed plasma & not with aged
plasma F VIII deficiency
• If correction does not occur suspect
inhibitor
34. Inhibitors:
• Antibodies against factors blocks clotting
activity
• 14-25 % patients who receive factors (VIII/ IX)
• Failure of a bleeding episode to respond to
appropriate replacement therapy 1st sign of
inhibitor
• Others develop higher titres
desensitisation- higher doses of factors given
39. FFP AND CRYOPPT
• FFP contains F VIII and IX
• CRYOPPT contains F-VIII, fibrinogen, VWF
• 1 unit FFP = 200 units factor VIII/IX
• 1 unit cryoppt = 100 units factor VIII
• FVIII 1u/kg Increase plasma factor VIII by 2% (
2 iu/dl) - t ½ = 8 hrs
• FIX 1u/kg Increase plasma factor IX by 1%
(1iu/dl) - t ½ = 18-20 hrs
• Risk of HIV, HBV, HCV, CMV transmission
40. FACTOR CONCENTRATES
• Prothrombin complex concentrates
(PCC) - Contain F IX & Vitamin K
dependent factors I.e. II, VII, IX, X – high
cost
• Pure factor IX concentrates available
– Currently high cost
41. THERAPY FOR HAEMOPHILIA
• FACTOR RECOVERY AFTER I.V.
INFUSION
Factor VIII 100%
Factor IX30-50%
• Raise factor levels to:
100 U/dl – life threatening bleeds
35- 40 U/dl – other bleeds
42. DOSAGE CALCULATION
• Dose of F VIII (U):
desired rise in plasma F VIII (U/dl) X body wt (kg) X
0.5
• Dose of F IX (U):
desired rise in plasma F IX (U/dl) X body wt (kg) X
1.4

45. Other measures:
• General supportive measures:
bed rest
hospitalize for severe bleeds
analgesics
Local haemostasis
Immobilisation
Physiotherapy
46. HEMARTHOSIS MANAGEMENT
• 25 U F-VIII/kg q12h
• Prompt rx : prevent early sequalae
• Check APTT
• Joint immobilisation - 48hrs
• Early ambulation and physio
• NSAIDS : Aspirin, indomethacin – with
caution- may induce GI bleed
• Paracetamol, pethidine, diazepam – can be
used
• Home infusions : train for early administration
48. PREVENTION
• Immunisation : SC not IM
• Avoid IM injections-
apply pressure 5 minutes
• Avoid contact sports
49. PREVENTION
• Orthopaedic care- traction, splinting,
reconstructive surgery
• Regular dental exam and hygiene
• Prophylactic immunization- hep B
• Counselling
50. DRUGS
• EACA - aminocaproic acid
• Tranexemic acid: 25mg/kg/day
• C/I in hematuria- ppt renal failure
• Desmopressin acetate: increases levels for
first 2 days from body stores
• Danazol
• Fibrin glue : tooth extraction
51. Other agents used:
• Tranexamic acid
Used for external bleeding
eg. teeth extraction
Not for internal bleedings
Inhibits fibrinolysis
decreases F VIII requirement
52. • DDAVP D-amino D-arginine Vasopressin
Found to raise FVIII levels
Mild haemophilia- releases F VIII from storage
sites
Moderate to severe cases- no endogenous
stores treatment ineffective
Mild von Willebrand’s disease
Not effective in Haemophilia B
53. • Danazol:
Androgen
Elevates levels of protein in factors
Increases levels of F VIII & F IX
• Prednisolone
Acute synovitis
56. ACQUIRED HEMOPHILIA
• 5-20% of hemophiliacs develop antibodies against
factor VIII/IX with time - alloantibodies
• Hemophilia A > Hemophilia B
• Suspect when failure of therapy
• Manage:
1) porcine FVIII
2) activated prothrombin complex
3) activated FVII
4) plasmapheresis
5) immunosuppresants
6) recombinant FVIII/IX
57. THERAPY FOR HAEMOPHILIA
• DEMAND THERAPY Hospital
Home
Long standing approach to haemophilia
Patient treats when bleeds
Arrest acute bleed
No arrest, long term sequelae
• PROPHYLACTIC THERAPY
58. PROPHYLACTIC THERAPY
• Initiated with the 1st bleed
• Home - self or patient infused
• Small dose FVIII (FIX) 2-3 X /week ( 20%-
30%)
Prevents bleeds
Prevents long term sequelae
THERAPY FOR SURGERY/ DENTISTRY
• Prophylactic
• Enables major procedures - 10 days cover
