Hemophilia (Baby)

A genetic blood disorder, almost always in males, in which blood does not clot properly as a result of an enzyme deficiency.

Hemophilia (Blood Bank)

A hereditary bleeding disorder, in which blood does not clot normally. People with the disorder bleed for longer periods of time, which is most concerning when bleeding occurs internally — in the joints, tissues, muscles, and especially the vital organs, such as the brain. Many hemophiliacs rely on regular transfusions of the clotting factor in plasma.

Hemophilia (Cancer)

Group of hereditary disorders in which affected individuals fail to make enough of certain proteins needed to form blood clots.

Hemophilia (Female Health)

An inherited blood disorder caused by a defect in the clotting ability of blood cells. People with hemophilia bleed profusely and easily, either spontaneously and/or with injury.

Hemophilia (Genetics)

A sex-linked disease in humans in which the blood-clotting process is defective.

Hemophilia (HIV and AIDs)

A genetic disorder that affects mostly men and prevents normal blood clotting. It is treated by life-long injections of a synthetic version of the clotting factor lacking in people with the disease.

Hemophilia (Medical)

An inherited disorder in which a person's blood lacks a certain protein important in forming blood clots, leading to excessive bleeding

Hemophilia (Sexually Transmitted Diseases)

HEMOPHILIA is a blood-related condition that people are born with. People with HEMOPHILIA lack something called a "clotting factor" in their blood. Once a person with HEMOPHILIA gets cut, he or she will bleed for a very long time. Before hospitals screened donated BLOOD for HIV, HEMOPHILIACS (people with HEMOPHILIA) were at a higher risk for HIV because they tend to get BLOOD TRANSFUSIONS more than people without HEMOPHILIA.

Hemophilia (Veterinary)

The blood lacks coagulating factors, causing a strong tendency to bleed, and difficulty in getting the bleeding to stop. hepatitis - inflammation of the liver. This can result from a variety of causes including infections (particularly viral), drugs, autoimmunity and genetics. The liver stores and filters blood, secretes bile, converts sugars, processes fat, produces proteins which help to control blood volume, and produces some of the clotting factors.
