Hemofilia
Objawy

Hemofilia jest dziedzicznym zaburzeniem krzepnięcia krwi, charakteryzującym się niedoborem czynników krzepnięcia, co prowadzi do przedłużonego krwawienia. Nasilenie choroby klasyfikuje się na podstawie poziomu czynnika krzepnięcia: łagodna (6-49% normy), umiarkowana (1-5% normy) oraz ciężka (<1% normy). Objawy obejmują nadmierne krwawienia po urazach, spontaniczne krwawienia do stawów i mięśni, a także krwawienia wewnętrzne, w tym do mózgu, które stanowią najpoważniejsze powikłanie. Charakterystyczne są krwawienia do stawów (kolanowych, łokciowych, skokowych), prowadzące do artropatii hemofilowej, oraz krwawienia do mięśni, które mogą skutkować zespołem ciasnoty powięziowej. U niemowląt i dzieci objawy mogą pojawiać się już w pierwszych miesiącach życia, natomiast u dorosłych częstotliwość spontanicznych krwawień do stawów wzrasta z wiekiem.

Hemofilia (Hemophilia) – Objawy, progresja

Hemofilia jest rzadkim, dziedzicznym zaburzeniem krzepnięcia krwi, w którym krew nie krzepnie prawidłowo z powodu niedoboru białek krzepnięcia (czynników krzepnięcia). Osoby z hemofilią mogą doświadczać dłuższego czasu krwawienia po urazie niż osoby z prawidłowym krzepnięciem krwi. Nasilenie objawów hemofilia zależy od poziomu czynników krzepnięcia we krwi pacjenta.12

Klasyfikacja hemofilia według nasilenia

Nasilenie hemofilia jest określane na podstawie ilości czynnika krzepnięcia we krwi. Im niższy poziom czynnika, tym większe prawdopodobieństwo wystąpienia krwawienia, które może prowadzić do poważnych problemów zdrowotnych.34

Hemofilia klasyfikowana jest jako:

  • Łagodna hemofilia (poziom czynnika 6-49% normy): Osoby z łagodną hemofilią najczęściej doświadczają krwawienia tylko po poważnym urazie, traumie lub operacji. W wielu przypadkach łagodna hemofilia nie jest rozpoznawana, dopóki po urazie, zabiegu chirurgicznym lub ekstrakcji zęba nie wystąpi przedłużone krwawienie. Pierwszy epizod może nie wystąpić aż do wieku dorosłego.56
  • Umiarkowana hemofilia (poziom czynnika 1-5% normy): Osoby z umiarkowaną hemofilią mają tendencję do epizodów krwawienia po urazach. Mogą również doświadczać okazjonalnych krwawień bez oczywistej przyczyny, nazywanych spontanicznymi epizodami krwawienia.78
  • Ciężka hemofilia (poziom czynnika poniżej 1% normy): Osoby z ciężką hemofilią doświadczają krwawienia po urazie i mogą mieć częste spontaniczne epizody krwawienia, często do stawów i mięśni. Krwawienie może wystąpić nawet podczas minimalnej aktywności życia codziennego.910

Objawy ogólne hemofilia

Najczęstszym objawem hemofilia jest nadmierne i niekontrolowane krwawienie. Krwawienie może być zewnętrzne (skaleczenia, krwawienia z nosa) lub wewnętrzne (siniaki, krwawienia do stawów).1112

Typowe objawy hemofilia obejmują:

  • Łatwe i nadmierne siniaczenie1314
  • Niewyjaśnione i nadmierne krwawienia po skaleczeniach, urazach lub po zabiegach chirurgicznych i stomatologicznych1516
  • Częste i trudne do zatrzymania krwawienia z nosa1718
  • Krwawienie po szczepieniach1920
  • Krew w moczu lub stolcu2122
  • U niemowląt – niewyjaśnione rozdrażnienie2324
  • Krwawienie z dziąseł i jamy ustnej, trudne do zatrzymania krwawienie po utracie zęba2526
  • Przedłużone krwawienie po obrzezaniu u noworodków płci męskiej2728

Krwawienia do stawów (hemartrozy)

Krwawienie do stawów jest najbardziej charakterystycznym objawem hemofilia i może prowadzić do długotrwałego uszkodzenia stawów, jeśli nie jest odpowiednio leczone. Najczęściej dotknięte są stawy kolanowe, łokciowe i skokowe.2930

Objawy krwawienia do stawów rozwijają się następująco:

  • Początkowe uczucie napięcia lub „bąbelkowania” w stawie bez rzeczywistego bólu lub widocznych oznak krwawienia3132
  • Staw staje się opuchnięty, gorący w dotyku i bolesny przy zginaniu3334
  • Obrzęk narasta wraz z postępującym krwawieniem3536
  • Ostatecznie ruchomość w stawie jest tymczasowo utracona, a staw pozostaje w pozycji lekko zgiętej3738
  • Ból może być bardzo silny3940

Powtarzające się krwawienia do tego samego stawu mogą prowadzić do artropatii hemofilowej – przewlekłego stanu charakteryzującego się trwałym uszkodzeniem stawu, bólem, ograniczeniem ruchomości i deformacją.4142

Krwawienia do mięśni

Krwawienia do mięśni są drugim najczęstszym typem krwawienia u osób z hemofilią. Mogą one prowadzić do znacznej utraty krwi i innych powikłań.4344

Objawami krwawienia do mięśni są:

Szczególnie niebezpieczne jest krwawienie do mięśnia biodrowo-lędźwiowego (w okolicach biodra), które może powodować ucisk na ważne nerwy prowadzące do nogi.5354

Krwawienie śródczaszkowe

Krwawienie do mózgu jest najpoważniejszym powikłaniem hemofilia i główną przyczyną śmierci wśród pacjentów z tą chorobą. Nawet niewielkie uderzenie w głowę może spowodować krwawienie do mózgu u osób z ciężką hemofilią.5556

Objawy krwawienia śródczaszkowego obejmują:

  • Bolesne, przedłużające się bóle głowy5758
  • Powtarzające się wymioty5960
  • Senność lub letarg6162
  • Podwójne widzenie6364
  • Nagła słabość lub niezdarność6566
  • Drgawki lub napady padaczkowe6768
  • Sztywność karku69
  • Problemy z równowagą i koordynacją70

Krwawienie śródczaszkowe wymaga natychmiastowej interwencji medycznej, ponieważ może prowadzić do długotrwałych problemów neurologicznych, takich jak napady padaczkowe, paraliż, a nawet śmierć.7172

Krwawienia narządowe

Osoby z hemofilią mogą również doświadczać krwawień do narządów wewnętrznych, takich jak wątroba, śledziona i nerki. Objawy takich krwawień obejmują:

Różnice w objawach w zależności od wieku

Objawy u niemowląt i małych dzieci

U niemowląt i małych dzieci z ciężką hemofilią, objawy często pojawiają się w pierwszych miesiącach życia:8283

  • Przedłużone krwawienie po obrzezaniu u chłopców8485
  • Krwawienie po pobraniu krwi z pięty do badań przesiewowych8687
  • Krwawienie w obrębie skalpu lub mózgu po trudnym porodzie8889
  • Duże siniaki na głowie („jajka”) po niewielkich uderzeniach90
  • Krwawienie z jamy ustnej po drobnych urazach, jak uderzenie zabawką91
  • Marudność, rozdrażnienie lub odmowa raczkowania czy chodzenia, co może wskazywać na wewnętrzne krwawienie do mięśni lub stawów9293
  • Krwiak (nagromadzenie skrzepniętej krwi) pod skórą, często po otrzymaniu zastrzyku94
  • Trudności z oddychaniem spowodowane obrzękiem języka blokującym drogi oddechowe95

Większość dzieci z ciężką hemofilią jest diagnozowana około 12-18 miesiąca życia, gdy stają się bardziej aktywne i siniaki stają się bardziej widoczne.96

Objawy u starszych dzieci i dorosłych

U starszych dzieci i dorosłych objawy mogą obejmować:

  • Krwawienia do stawów stają się bardziej powszechne wraz z wiekiem, często dotykając kolan, łokci i stawów skokowych9798
  • Częstotliwość spontanicznych krwawień do stawów zazwyczaj zwiększa się z wiekiem, osiągając nawet 60% do 65 roku życia99
  • Powtarzające się krwawienia do stawów mogą prowadzić do chronicznego bólu i ograniczonej mobilności100101
  • U kobiet będących nosicielkami genu hemofilia mogą występować obfite krwawienia miesiączkowe i krwotoki po porodzie102103

Powikłania hemofilia

Nieleczona lub źle kontrolowana hemofilia może prowadzić do szeregu poważnych powikłań:104105

  • Artropatia hemofilowa – trwałe uszkodzenie stawów spowodowane powtarzającymi się krwawieniami, prowadzące do przewlekłego bólu, deformacji i niepełnosprawności106107
  • Przewlekły ból – szczególnie długotrwały ból dotykający stawów, w których występowały krwawienia; nawet dwie trzecie pacjentów z ciężką hemofilią zgłasza codzienne bóle stawów108
  • Zaburzenia neurologiczne – wynikające z krwawień śródczaszkowych, mogące prowadzić do uszkodzenia mózgu, napadów padaczkowych i paraliżu109110
  • Inhibitory – u 15-20% osób z wrodzoną hemofilią A lub B rozwija się przeciwciało (nazywane inhibitorem), które uniemożliwia czynnikom krzepnięcia prawidłowe krzepnięcie krwi i zatrzymanie krwawienia. Leczenie epizodów krwawienia staje się wówczas niezwykle trudne111
  • Problemy z jakością życia – ograniczenia w aktywności fizycznej, edukacji i zatrudnieniu112
  • Osteoporoza – osoby z hemofilią mają wyższe ryzyko niskiej gęstości mineralnej kości, co może prowadzić do rozwoju osteoporozy113

Progresja choroby

Nasilenie hemofilia nie zmienia się z czasem – stopień ciężkości, określony poprzez zdolność organizmu do produkcji czynników krzepnięcia, pozostaje stały przez całe życie.114115

Jednakże obraz kliniczny może ewoluować:

  • U niektórych osób z hemofilią występuje więcej epizodów krwawienia w dzieciństwie i w okresie dojrzewania, a w wieku dorosłym epizody te zdarzają się rzadziej116117
  • Osoby z łagodną postacią choroby mogą nie mieć żadnych epizodów krwawienia aż do wieku dorosłego118119
  • Wraz z powtarzającymi się krwawieniami do stawów rozwija się artropatia hemofilowa, która może wymagać zabiegów wymiany stawów120
  • Dzięki postępom w leczeniu hemofilia, osoby z tą chorobą mogą obecnie oczekiwać prawie normalnej długości życia121122
Stopień nasilenia hemofilia Poziom czynnika krzepnięcia Typowe objawy Częstość krwawień
Łagodna 6-49% normy Nadmierne krwawienie po poważnym urazie, operacji lub zabiegu stomatologicznym Rzadko, głównie po urazach
Umiarkowana 1-5% normy Krwawienie po mniejszych urazach, okazjonalne spontaniczne krwawienia Okresowo, zwykle po urazach
Ciężka <1% normy Spontaniczne krwawienia do stawów i mięśni, ciężkie krwawienia po niewielkich urazach Częste, 1-2 razy w tygodniu, często bez wyraźnej przyczyny

Podsumowanie

Hemofilia to poważne, dziedziczne zaburzenie krzepnięcia krwi, które może prowadzić do znaczących problemów zdrowotnych. Wczesne rozpoznanie objawów i szybkie wdrożenie odpowiedniego leczenia ma kluczowe znaczenie dla zapobiegania długoterminowym powikłaniom, takim jak uszkodzenie stawów i krwawienia zagrażające życiu. Dzięki nowoczesnym metodom leczenia, osoby z hemofilią mogą prowadzić aktywne życie z minimalnymi ograniczeniami, a ich oczekiwana długość życia jest zbliżona do osób bez tego schorzenia.123124

    https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/hemophilia/symptoms-causes/syc-20373327
    Hemophilia is a rare disorder in which the blood doesn’t clot in the typical way because it doesn’t have enough blood-clotting proteins (clotting factors). If you have hemophilia, you might bleed for a longer time after an injury than you would if your blood clotted properly. […] If you have a severe form of the condition, the main concern is bleeding inside your body, especially in your knees, ankles and elbows. Internal bleeding can damage your organs and tissues and be life-threatening. […] Signs and symptoms of hemophilia vary, depending on your level of clotting factors. If your clotting-factor level is mildly reduced, you might bleed only after surgery or trauma. If your deficiency is severe, you can bleed easily for seemingly no reason. […] Signs and symptoms of spontaneous bleeding include: Unexplained and excessive bleeding from cuts or injuries, or after surgery or dental work; Many large or deep bruises; Unusual bleeding after vaccinations; Pain, swelling or tightness in your joints; Blood in your urine or stool; Nosebleeds without a known cause; In infants, unexplained irritability.

    Hemophilia is usually an inherited bleeding disorder in which blood does not clot properly. This can lead to spontaneous bleeding (bleeding that occurs for no known reason) as well as bleeding following injuries or surgery. […] The severity of hemophilia that a person has is determined by the amount of factor in the blood. The lower the amount of the factor, the more likely it is that bleeding will occur, which can lead to serious health problems. […] Hemophilia can result in bleeding within joints that can lead to chronic joint disease and pain; […] bleeding in the head and sometimes in the brain, which can cause long term problems, such as seizures and paralysis; and […] death, which can occur if the bleeding cannot be stopped or if it occurs in a vital organ such as the brain. […] Common signs of hemophilia include bleeding into the joints. This can cause swelling and pain or tightness in the joints; it often affects the knees, elbows, and ankles. […] Bleeding into the skin (which is bruising) or muscle and soft tissue causing a build-up of blood in the area (called a hematoma). […] Blood in the urine or stool. […] Frequent and hard-to-stop nosebleeds.

    People with hemophilia B bleed longer than other people. Bleeds can occur internally, into joints and muscles, or externally, from minor cuts, dental procedures or trauma. How frequently a person bleeds and how serious the bleeds are depends on how much FIX is in the plasma, the straw-colored fluid portion of blood. […] Normal plasma levels of FIX range from 50% to 150%. Levels below 50%, or half of what is needed to form a clot, determine a persons symptoms. […] Mild hemophilia B. 6% up to 49% of FIX in the blood. People with mild hemophilia B typically experience bleeding only after serious injury, trauma or surgery. In many cases, mild hemophilia is not diagnosed until an injury, surgery or tooth extraction results in prolonged bleeding. The first episode may not occur until adulthood. Women with mild hemophilia often experience menorrhagia, heavy menstrual periods, and can hemorrhage after childbirth.

    Classic hemophilia (Hemophilia A and B) primarily affects males and is hereditary, transmitted from one generation to another. […] Individuals with hemophilia have excessive bleeding after injuries or spontaneous bleeding episodes because of the lack of a specific coagulation factor in their blood. […] The most well-known bleeding disorder is Hemophilia A, caused by a lack of the coagulation factor VIII (approximately 80 percent of hemophilia cases). […] Hemophilia B (also known as Christmas disease) is caused by the lack of the coagulation factor IX (20 percent of hemophilia cases). […] Both factor VIII and IX deficiencies occur in mild, moderate and severe forms depending on the level of the missing coagulation factor. […] Mild — 6 percent to 49 percent —– excessive bleeding after surgery, dental work, or trauma Moderate — 2 percent to 5 percent —– excessive bleeding after surgery, dental work, trauma, and rarely spontaneous bleeding Severe — Less than 1 percent —– bleeding spontaneously, joint injury, intracranial and internal bleeding.

    Hemophilia is an inherited bleeding disorder. People with hemophilia bleed easily because they dont have enough of one of the clotting factors in their blood. Clotting factors are needed for blood to clot. Blood clots to prevent excessive bleeding. […] The severity of hemophilia depends on the amount of clotting factors in the blood. Those affected with hemophilia who have blood clotting factor levels greater than 5% most often have bleeding only with serious injury, major surgeries, or tooth extractions. These people may not even be diagnosed until bleeding complications from a surgery occur. […] Severe hemophilia is when the factor VIII or IX levels are less than 1%. Bleeding can occur even with minimal activities of daily life. Bleeding may also occur from no known injury. Bleeding most often occurs in the joints, muscles, and in the head.

    The most common symptom of this disorder is heavy, uncontrollable bleeding. Bleeding can be external (cuts, nosebleeds) or internal (bruises, joint bleeds). […] Symptoms may include: Bruising. Bruises can occur from even small accidents. This can result in a large buildup of blood under the skin causing swelling (hematoma). […] Easy bleeding. A tendency to bleed from the nose, mouth, and gums with minor injury. Bleeding while brushing and flossing teeth or having dental work is often a sign of hemophilia. […] Bleeding into a joint (hemarthrosis). This can cause pain, immobility, and deformity if not treated. This is the most common site of complications due to hemophilia bleeding. […] Bleeding into the muscles. Bleeding into the muscles can cause swelling, pain, and redness. […] Bleeding in the brain. This can happen from injury or on its own. Bleeding from injury, or spontaneously in the brain, is the most serious bleeding complication and can be life-threatening.

    People who have factor VIII levels between 1% and 5% have moderate hemophilia A and moderate symptoms. Moderate hemophilia A symptoms typically surface when children are toddlers. They may have the following symptoms: Bruising: They bruise very easily. Unusual bleeding: If they have surgery, have an injury that causes bleeding or have a tooth pulled, they’ll bleed more than normal and for a longer time than expected. Spontaneous bleeding: Rarely, they’ll begin to bleed for no apparent reason. […] People who have less than 1% of factor VIII in their blood have severe hemophilia A and severe symptoms. Many times, hemophilia A symptoms appear as children are being born or, in the case of male babies, when they’re being circumcised. Other times, children develop symptoms a few months after they’re born. Common symptoms include: Bleeding: Babies and toddlers may bleed from their mouths after minor injuries, like bumping their mouths on a toy. Swollen lumps on their heads: Babies and toddlers who bump their heads often develop goose eggs large round lumps on their heads. Fussiness, irritability or refusing to crawl or walk: These symptoms may happen if babies and toddlers have internal bleeding into a muscle or joint. They may have areas on their bodies that look bruised and swollen, feel warm to your touch or cause pain when you gently touch the area. Hematomas: A hematoma is a mass of congealed blood that gathers under babies or toddlers skin. Babies and toddlers may develop hematomas after receiving an injection. Breathing difficulties: Sometimes, bleeding may cause your child’s tongue to swell so much that it blocks their airway.

    Hemophilia is usually an inherited bleeding disorder in which blood does not clot properly. This can lead to spontaneous bleeding (bleeding that occurs for no known reason) as well as bleeding following injuries or surgery. […] The severity of hemophilia that a person has is determined by the amount of factor in the blood. The lower the amount of the factor, the more likely it is that bleeding will occur, which can lead to serious health problems. […] Hemophilia can result in bleeding within joints that can lead to chronic joint disease and pain; […] bleeding in the head and sometimes in the brain, which can cause long term problems, such as seizures and paralysis; and […] death, which can occur if the bleeding cannot be stopped or if it occurs in a vital organ such as the brain. […] Common signs of hemophilia include bleeding into the joints. This can cause swelling and pain or tightness in the joints; it often affects the knees, elbows, and ankles.

    Bleeding in the brain, also called intracranial bleeding or intracranial hemorrhage, is a leading cause of death in hemophilia. Up to about 20% of brain bleeds in hemophilia patients may be fatal, though the risk of lethal bleeds has decreased in recent years as new treatments have become available. […] Brain bleeding is more common in people with severe hemophilia than in those with milder forms of the disease. Another major risk factor for brain bleeding in hemophilia is age, with this type of bleeding being more commonly seen in children younger than 2, and in adults older than 60. […] Recurrent joint bleeds can lead to a condition marked by permanent and irreversible joint damage. Called hemophilic arthropathy, this condition is characterized by pain and reduced mobility in the affected joint(s). […] Chronic pain, especially ongoing pain affecting joints where bleeds have occurred, is common in hemophilia. In fact, as many as two-thirds of patients with severe hemophilia report experiencing daily joint pain.

This most commonly affects the knees, elbows, ankles, shoulders, wrist, and/or hips. Joint bleeds are more common in older individuals and people who are more physically active. These bleeds may cause joints to swell and become stiffer, impairing patients’ mobility and causing pain. […] Individuals with hemophilia also may experience bleeding in internal organs, such as the liver, spleen, and kidneys. This can result in symptoms like abdominal pain, swelling in the abdomen, abnormal rigidity or tenderness in the abdomen, blood in the stool, which may appear reddish or cause stool to be unusually dark and sticky, blood in urine, known as hematuria, and vomiting blood, called hematemesis.

[…] People with hemophilia are at higher risk of having low bone mineral density, which can set the stage for conditions like osteoporosis to develop. In osteoporosis, bones become weaker and more prone to break, or fracture.

    People with bleeding disorders can have minor cuts that dont clot, or the bleeding stops and begins again. […] They can also have spontaneous nosebleeds that can be recurrent and heavy. […] The most frequent sites for internal bleeds are the joints, usually the knee, ankle, elbow, and hip joints. […] At first, the joint may be described as tingly or bubbly. […] As blood begins to pool, the joint may feel tight, maybe warm or hot to the touch, and can become painful, especially when bending. […] Repetitive joint bleeds can cause irreversible damage to the joint. […] Once you have had one bleed in a joint, you are more likely to develop future bleeds in the same joint. […] Muscle bleeds can be extremely painful, and numbness and pale skin may be noted over the injured muscle. […] If left untreated, this can lead to nerve damage.

    In cases of severe hemophilia, patients often present with internal bleeding, potentially impacting multiple organs. Joints can become painful, swollen, inflamed, and warm and have a restricted range of motion due to bleeding. The most commonly affected joints are the knees, elbows, ankles, shoulders, wrists, and hips. Spontaneous joint bleed incidence typically increases with age, reaching up to 60% by 65 years of age. Repetitive joint bleeds often lead to hemophilic arthropathies. […] The hallmark clinical presentation of both hemophilia A and B is joint (hemarthroses) and muscle bleeding, which typically presents in severe disease. Around 50% of patients with severe hemophilia will have a muscle bleed or hematoma by age 6 to 8 months and can present with compartment syndrome. The most dreadful life-threatening bleeding complications are intracranial bleeding, which is the leading cause of death in patients with hemophilia, iliopsoas muscle bleeds due to significant volume loss, and risk for hypovolemic shock, retropharyngeal bleeding, and airway compromise.

  • #71 About Hemophilia | Hemophilia | CDC
    https://www.cdc.gov/hemophilia/about/index.html
    Hemophilia is usually an inherited bleeding disorder in which blood does not clot properly. This can lead to spontaneous bleeding (bleeding that occurs for no known reason) as well as bleeding following injuries or surgery. […] The severity of hemophilia that a person has is determined by the amount of factor in the blood. The lower the amount of the factor, the more likely it is that bleeding will occur, which can lead to serious health problems. […] Hemophilia can result in bleeding within joints that can lead to chronic joint disease and pain; […] bleeding in the head and sometimes in the brain, which can cause long term problems, such as seizures and paralysis; and […] death, which can occur if the bleeding cannot be stopped or if it occurs in a vital organ such as the brain. […] Common signs of hemophilia include bleeding into the joints. This can cause swelling and pain or tightness in the joints; it often affects the knees, elbows, and ankles. […] Bleeding into the skin (which is bruising) or muscle and soft tissue causing a build-up of blood in the area (called a hematoma). […] Blood in the urine or stool. […] Frequent and hard-to-stop nosebleeds.

    The most serious type of bleeding in hemophilia is generally considered to be bleeding in the brain. […] Recurrent bleeding in the joints can lead to a condition called hemophilic arthropathy, which is marked by permanent and irreversible joint damage, joint pain, and limited mobility. […] Bleeds in large muscles can cause serious blood loss, while bleeding into confined muscles like those in the forearms and calves can cause a painful condition called compartment syndrome due to increased pressure in and around muscles. Muscle bleeds also can put pressure on nerves, leading to symptoms like numbness and tingling. […] People with hemophilia are at higher risk of having low bone mineral density, which can set the stage for conditions like osteoporosis to develop. In osteoporosis, bones become weaker and more prone to break, or fracture.

    People who have factor VIII levels between 1% and 5% have moderate hemophilia A and moderate symptoms. Moderate hemophilia A symptoms typically surface when children are toddlers. They may have the following symptoms: Bruising: They bruise very easily. Unusual bleeding: If they have surgery, have an injury that causes bleeding or have a tooth pulled, they’ll bleed more than normal and for a longer time than expected. Spontaneous bleeding: Rarely, they’ll begin to bleed for no apparent reason. […] People who have less than 1% of factor VIII in their blood have severe hemophilia A and severe symptoms. Many times, hemophilia A symptoms appear as children are being born or, in the case of male babies, when they’re being circumcised. Other times, children develop symptoms a few months after they’re born. Common symptoms include: Bleeding: Babies and toddlers may bleed from their mouths after minor injuries, like bumping their mouths on a toy. Swollen lumps on their heads: Babies and toddlers who bump their heads often develop goose eggs large round lumps on their heads. Fussiness, irritability or refusing to crawl or walk: These symptoms may happen if babies and toddlers have internal bleeding into a muscle or joint. They may have areas on their bodies that look bruised and swollen, feel warm to your touch or cause pain when you gently touch the area. Hematomas: A hematoma is a mass of congealed blood that gathers under babies or toddlers skin. Babies and toddlers may develop hematomas after receiving an injection. Breathing difficulties: Sometimes, bleeding may cause your child’s tongue to swell so much that it blocks their airway.

    Bleeding in a muscle can cause pain, swelling, warmth, and a bruise over the area. […] Babies and toddlers who have bleeding in a muscle or joint might be fussy or refuse to crawl or walk. […] Bleeding in the digestive system can cause black or bloody poop or blood in throw-up (vomit). […] Bleeding in the brain can cause a headache, vomiting, sleepiness, or seizures. […] Hemophilia can be mild, moderate, or severe, based on the amount of the clotting factor in the blood. The lower the level of the clotting factor, the more likely the person is to have bleeding. […] Few babies are diagnosed with hemophilia in the first 6 months of life. That’s because they’re unlikely to have an injury that would lead to bleeding. Bleeding may happen after a circumcision, which can lead to the diagnosis. […] As kids get older and more active, a doctor might suspect hemophilia if a child bruises easily and bleeds too much when injured.

    Bleeding into the skin (which is bruising) or muscle and soft tissue, causing a build-up of blood in the area (called a hematoma). […] Bleeding of the mouth and gums, and bleeding that is hard to stop after losing a tooth. […] Bleeding after circumcision (surgery performed on male babies to remove the hood of skin, called the foreskin, covering the head of the penis). […] Bleeding after having shots, such as vaccinations. […] Bleeding in the head of an infant after a difficult delivery. […] Blood in the urine or stool. […] Frequent and hard-to-stop nosebleeds. […] The amount of bleeding that can be expected in an individual with hemophilia depends upon the severity of the deficiency. Normal plasma levels of FVIII and FIX range from 50% to 150%. People with no measurable factor VIII or IX (FVIII or FIX1%) are considered to have the severe form of hemophilia. Severe hemophilia can result in frequent bleeding episodes. In many cases, bleeding, particularly into joints, can occur spontaneously, without any trauma or injury that can be remembered by the patient or family.

    Severe hemophilia often manifests in the first months of life, whereas mild or moderate hemophilia will present later in childhood or adolescence, often incidentally or following trauma. […] Characteristic hemophilia bleeding symptoms can manifest as spontaneous intracranial bleeding in neonates, excessive postoperative bleeding after circumcision, atraumatic painful hemarthrosis, inexplicable bruising when the infant begins crawling or walking, and inordinate musculocutaneous hemorrhage, either spontaneously or after intramuscular vaccination. […] Hemarthrosis manifests as the most common hemorrhagic symptom in adolescents and adults. Recurrent hemarthrosis eventually causes erosion of joint cartilage and results in the painful Charcot joints of hemophilic arthropathy. Intracranial hemorrhage represents the most immediate life-threatening manifestation of hemophilia A with the potential for chronic neurological disability and long-term neurological sequelae.

    The most common symptom of this disorder is heavy, uncontrollable bleeding. Bleeding can be external (cuts, nosebleeds) or internal (bruises, joint bleeds). […] The severity of hemophilia depends on the amount of clotting factors in the blood. Those affected with hemophilia who have blood clotting factor levels greater than 5% most often have bleeding only with serious injury, major surgeries, or tooth extractions. These people may not even be diagnosed until bleeding complications from a surgery occur. […] Severe hemophilia is when the factor VIII or IX levels are less than 1%. Bleeding can occur even with minimal activities of daily life. Bleeding may also occur from no known injury. Bleeding most often occurs in the joints, muscles, and in the head. […] Symptoms may include: Bruising. Bruises can occur from even small accidents. This can result in a large buildup of blood under the skin causing swelling (hematoma). Children with hemophilia are often diagnosed around 12 to 18 months of age. This is when the child is more active and bruising becomes more apparent.

[…] Early signs of hemophilia in infancy include: Bleeding into the muscle and deep bruising, sometimes first noticed after a routine vitamin K shot after birth, Prolonged bleeding that goes on for a long time after the infant’s heel is pricked to draw blood for newborn screening tests, Prolonged bleeding after circumcision, Bleeding in the scalp or brain after the use of a vacuum or forceps in delivery, or after a difficult delivery in general. […] Other general symptoms of hemophilia B include: Bleeding into a joint or muscle, which causes pain and swelling (hemarthrosis), Bleeding that is not normal after an injury or surgery, Easy bruising, Frequent nosebleeds, Blood in the urine, Bleeding after dental work, Unexplained bleeding episodes, Gastrointestinal (GI) tract and urinary tract bleeding.

    Bleeding into the skin (which is bruising) or muscle and soft tissue, causing a build-up of blood in the area (called a hematoma). […] Bleeding of the mouth and gums, and bleeding that is hard to stop after losing a tooth. […] Bleeding after circumcision (surgery performed on male babies to remove the hood of skin, called the foreskin, covering the head of the penis). […] Bleeding after having shots, such as vaccinations. […] Bleeding in the head of an infant after a difficult delivery. […] Blood in the urine or stool. […] Frequent and hard-to-stop nosebleeds. […] The amount of bleeding that can be expected in an individual with hemophilia depends upon the severity of the deficiency. Normal plasma levels of FVIII and FIX range from 50% to 150%. People with no measurable factor VIII or IX (FVIII or FIX1%) are considered to have the severe form of hemophilia. Severe hemophilia can result in frequent bleeding episodes. In many cases, bleeding, particularly into joints, can occur spontaneously, without any trauma or injury that can be remembered by the patient or family.

They may have the following symptoms: Bruising: They bruise very easily. Unusual bleeding: If they have surgery, have an injury that causes bleeding or have a tooth pulled, they’ll bleed more than normal and for a longer time than expected. Spontaneous bleeding: Rarely, they’ll begin to bleed for no apparent reason. […] People who have less than 1% of factor VIII in their blood have severe hemophilia A and severe symptoms. Many times, hemophilia A symptoms appear as children are being born or, in the case of male babies, when they’re being circumcised. Other times, children develop symptoms a few months after they’re born. Common symptoms include: Bleeding: Babies and toddlers may bleed from their mouths after minor injuries, like bumping their mouths on a toy. Swollen lumps on their heads: Babies and toddlers who bump their heads often develop goose eggs large round lumps on their heads. Fussiness, irritability or refusing to crawl or walk: These symptoms may happen if babies and toddlers have internal bleeding into a muscle or joint.

    The most common symptom of this disorder is heavy, uncontrollable bleeding. Bleeding can be external (cuts, nosebleeds) or internal (bruises, joint bleeds). […] The severity of hemophilia depends on the amount of clotting factors in the blood. Those affected with hemophilia who have blood clotting factor levels greater than 5% most often have bleeding only with serious injury, major surgeries, or tooth extractions. These people may not even be diagnosed until bleeding complications from a surgery occur. […] Severe hemophilia is when the factor VIII or IX levels are less than 1%. Bleeding can occur even with minimal activities of daily life. Bleeding may also occur from no known injury. Bleeding most often occurs in the joints, muscles, and in the head. […] Symptoms may include: Bruising. Bruises can occur from even small accidents. This can result in a large buildup of blood under the skin causing swelling (hematoma). Children with hemophilia are often diagnosed around 12 to 18 months of age. This is when the child is more active and bruising becomes more apparent.

Joints can become painful, swollen, inflamed, and warm and have a restricted range of motion due to bleeding. The most commonly affected joints are the knees, elbows, ankles, shoulders, wrists, and hips. Spontaneous joint bleed incidence typically increases with age, reaching up to 60% by 65 years of age. Repetitive joint bleeds often lead to hemophilic arthropathies. […] The hallmark clinical presentation of both hemophilia A and B is joint (hemarthroses) and muscle bleeding, which typically presents in severe disease. Around 50% of patients with severe hemophilia will have a muscle bleed or hematoma by age 6 to 8 months and can present with compartment syndrome.

However, after repeated bleeding into the same joint, spontaneous bleeding may occur in that joint, even if the individual has moderate hemophilia. […] Persons with 6% to 49% of factor activity are considered to have mild hemophilia and are expected to have relatively few problems with bleeding, except during surgery or after severe trauma. Carrier women can have lower than normal plasma levels of factor VIII or IX and thus can experience symptoms of mild hemophilia. […] Joint damage (hemophilia arthropathy) is the most common complication of bleeding in hemophilia. Prophylaxis has been shown to reduce joint bleeding and prevent joint damage. Early treatment of each joint bleed reduces the risk of chronic joint disease, functional impairment, and disability.
