Deficiencia del factor VII - Treatment

Nombres alternativos

Deficiencia del factor extrínseco

Tratamiento:

Los pacientes pueden controlar los episodios de sangrado recibiendo plasma normal, concentrados de factor VII o factor VII producido genéticamente (recombinante) por vía intravenosa (IV). Las personas necesitan tratamiento frecuente durante los episodios de sangrado, debido a que el factor VII no dura mucho tiempo dentro del cuerpo. Se puede usar igualmente una forma del factor VII llamada NovoSeven.

Si una falta de vitamina K está causando el trastorno, usted puede tomar dicha vitamina por vía oral, a través de inyecciones subcutáneas o por vía intravenosa.

Grupos de apoyo:

El estrés causado por la enfermedad a menudo se puede aliviar uniéndose a un grupo de apoyo, donde los integrantes comparten experiencias y problemas en común. Ver recursos para la hemofilia.

Pronóstico:

El desenlace clínico puede ser bueno con tratamiento apropiado.

Se trata de un trastorno de por vida si se hereda de los padres. Si es causado por enfermedad hepática, el desenlace clínico depende de qué tan bien se pueda controlar el problema del hígado.

Posibles complicaciones:

  • Sangrado excesivo (hemorragia)
  • Accidente cerebrovascular u otros problemas del sistema nervioso a raíz del sangrado en el sistema nervioso central
  • Problemas articulares en casos graves cuando el sangrado se presenta con frecuencia

Cuándo contactar a un profesional médico:

Acuda al servicio de urgencias o llame al número local de emergencias (como el 911 en los Estados Unidos) si presenta sangrado intenso e inexplicable.
