About
1 in 1,000 people have a bleeding disorder. However, 75% receive
inadequate treatment, no treatment, or treatment does not work due to a
complication called an inhibitor. Hemophilia and other inherited
clotting factor deficiencies are lifelong bleeding disorders that
prevent blood from clotting properly. People with bleeding disorders
either do not have enough of a particular clotting factor or their
clotting factor does not work properly. Bleeding into joints and muscles
causes severe pain, chronic joint disease and disability and bleeding
into major organs, such as the brain, can cause death.
World Hemophilia Day which is being observed throughout the world today provides us an opportunity to talk to your extended family and friends, colleagues, and caregivers to raise awareness and increase support for those living with an inherited bleeding disorder. On this important day, let us help raise awareness about bleeding disorders and build a family of support for those living with them.
