Hemofilia - Treatment

Tratamiento:

El tratamiento estándar consiste en reponer el factor de coagulación faltante a través de una vena (infusiones intravenosas).

Diagnosticar un trastorno hemorrágico es importante, de manera que el médico pueda tener cuidados adicionales si usted necesita cirugía y pueda evaluar o advertirle a otros miembros de la familia que podrían estar afectados.

Pronóstico:

Muchas personas con hemofilia son capaces de llevar vidas bastante normales. Sin embargo, algunos pacientes tienen episodios hemorrágicos graves, con mayor frecuencia sangrado dentro de los espacios de las articulaciones.

Un pequeño porcentaje de las personas que padecen hemofilia puede morir a causa de un sangrado intenso.
