Hemophilia A and B
The blood of people with hemophilia A or B are missing or have a low level of a protein called a clotting factor, which helps to stop bleeding. Patients with hemophilia A are missing factor 8, while those with hemophilia B are missing factor 9. If you have hemophilia, you may bleed for a longer time after an injury than if your blood clotted properly.
At the Nadeene Brunini Comprehensive Hemophilia Care Center, we utilize breakthrough treatments and prophylactic (preventive) therapies, including injectable medications called clotting factors, nose sprays, hormone therapy, and prophylactic pills and topical treatments to reduce bleeding during dental procedures, surgery, menstruation, and childbirth. Our team also provides patients with information on FDA-approved gene therapy for severe hemophilia.
Because hemophilia A and B are complex conditions, our team assists patients with physical therapy, orthopedic care, emotional and educational support, and referrals to community resources.
