Haemophilia
Haemophilia is a bleeding disorder whereby blood doesn’t clot properly. It is caused by not having enough of one of the essential clotting ingredients (called factors) in the blood.
Haemophilia A, or Classical Haemophilia, is the most common form and is due to the deficiency of factor VIII. Haemophilia B is due to factor IX deficiency. Haemophilia A is five times more common than haemophilia B1. For blood to clot normally, a person needs to have at least thirty percent of the clotting factor.
