Hemophilia A

Hemophilia A is an inherited bleeding disorder caused by a congenital deficiency or functional defect of coagulation factor VIII, an essential cofactor in the intrinsic clotting cascade Depending on baseline plasma factor VIII activity, clinical manifestations range from excessive post-surgical bleeding in mild disease to recurrent spontaneous hemorrhages—most characteristically painful hemarthroses and deep muscle hematomas that can lead to chronic arthropathy—in severe cases
