Objectives 
• Define hemophilia 
• Treatment of bleeding in hemophilia 
• Review main complications in hemophilia 
• Factor replacement 
• Adjunctive therapies 
• Gene therapy 
• Other bleeding disorders
MMSSKKCCCC 
Case history 
• In 1904, Baby boy has persistent bleeding after birth 
• One maternal uncle died of brain hemorrhage at age 31 
• No history of bleeding in maternal grandfather or great 
uncles 
• Baby boy was His Imperial Highness Alexis Nicolaievich, 
Sovereign Heir Tsarevich, Grand Duke of Russia 
• No treatments available except rest for joint bleeds 
• Distraught mother turns to Rasputin to “heal” her son
MMSSKKCCCC 
European History 
• Kerensky, the head of the Provisional Government after 
the Tsar, claimed: 
• "Without Rasputin, there could have been no Lenin." 
Certainly, without Lenin, there would have been no 
communist Russia. 
• And, without Alexis' hemophilia, there would have been 
no Rasputin. 
• Could it be that the single mutation in the single cell that 
became Victoria was responsible for the rise of 
communism? 
• Entire family murdered
One third of all cases of hemophilia are due to new 
mutation in mother

Inheritance X-linked X-linked

Incidence 1/10,000 males 1/50,000 males 
50-60% severe 44% severe

Severity Related to factor level 
<1% - Severe - spontaneous bleeding 
1-5% - Moderate - bleeding with mild injury 
5-25% - Mild - bleeding with surgery or trauma
MMSSKKCCCC 
Genetics 
• Affected males 
– All daughters are carriers 
– No sons are affected 
• Female carrier 
– 50% risk for carrier daughter 
– 50% risk for affected son 
• 30% of cases are result 
of new spontaneous 
mutation

Factor VIII deficiency: 
Intron 22 inversion
MMSSKKCCCC 
Clinical Bleeding 
• Immediate and delayed bleed with hemostatic 
challenges 
• Spontaneous joint bleeds :Symptoms of joint 
bleed 
– Tingling or bubbling sensation 
– Stiffness 
– Warmth 
– Pain 
– Unusual limb position
Complications of Bleeding 
• Flexion contractures 
• Joint arthritis / arthropathy 
• Chronic pain 
• Muscle atrophy 
• Compartment syndrome 
• Neurologic impairment 
MMSSKKCCCC
MMSSKKCCCC 
Pseudotumor/Pseudocyst 
• Deep bleeds may evolve into a 
pseudotumor. 
– Increased pressure of hematoma plus proteases from 
blood destroy surrounding tissues and gradually 
expand.

MMSSKKCCCC 
Prophylaxis 
• Scheduled infusions of factor concentrates 
to prevent most bleeding 
• Frequency: 2 to 3 times weekly to keep 
trough factor VIII or IX levels at 2-3% 
• Types 
– primary prophylaxis 
– secondary prophylaxis 
• Use of IVAD necessary in some patients
MMSSKKCCCC
MMSSKKCCCC 
Complications of therapy 
• Formation of inhibitors (antibodies) 
– 10-15% of severe hemophilia A patients 
– 1-2% of severe hemophilia B patients 
• Viral infections 
– Hepatitis B Human 
parvovirus 
– Hepatitis C Hepatitis A 
– HIV Other
MMSSKKCCCC 
Our patient’s course 
• At age 2, port-a-cath placed 
• He is started on prophylaxis with 
recombinant factor VIII three times a week 
with 100% factor replacement dose 
• Eight months later, he develops repeated 
bleeds despite above dosing
MMSSKKCCCC 
Inhibitors 
• Definition 
– IgG antibody to infused factor VIII or IX 
concentrates, which occurs after exposure 
to the extraneous VIII or IX protein. 
• Prevalence 
– 20-30% of patients with severe hemophilia A 
– 1-4% of patients with severe hemophilia B 
• Treatment 
– .Eradicate inhibitor: Immune tolerance 
– Treat bleeding: rFVIIa
MMSSKKCCCC 
Labs 
• Factor VIII: <1% 
• Factor VIII inhibitor : 5 Bethesda units 
• Inhibitors develop in newly diagnosed children at 
an average age of 2 to 3 years 
• More frequently after 10 to 20 days of exposure 
to FVIII 
• Less frequently between 20 to 50 exposures 
• seldom after 200 exposures
MMSSKKCCCC 
rFVIIa 
• Pan hemostatic agent 
• Recombinant and does not carry risks of 
plasma derived products 
• Dose is 90-120 microgram/kg given as 
bolus dose every 2 hours 
• Expense is a consideration
MMSSKKCCCC 
Immune Tolerance 
• immune tolerance induction (ITI) program 
to eradicate inhibitor 
• Based on the long-term intravenous 
infusion of large doses of FVIII
MMSSKKCCCC 
Future :2013 and beyond 
• Longer acting factor concentrates 
• Gene therapy
