ABSTRACT
Hemophilia A is an X-linked inherited disease caused by mutations in
the coagulation factor VIII F8 gene. It is considered a rare disease, as its prevalence
is 26.6 per 100,000 live male births. Patients with hemophilia A have a relatively
normal coagulation onset and amplification phases, and are able to form
the initial platelet plug at the site of hemorrhage; but due to factor VIII deficiency,
they are unable to generate a sufficient amount of thrombin on the platelet surface
to stabilize the fibrin clot. In a male patient with unusual bleeding, a hemophilia
A-type coagulation disorder should be ruled out, and blood tests such as a platelet
count and prothrombin time (PT), which are usually normal, and an activated partial
thromboplastin time (APTT), which is prolonged, should be requested immediately.
For differential diagnosis with other coagulopathies, measurement of coagulation
factors and correction tests are performed when there is suspicion of an inhibitor
or acquired hemophilia. Affected patients may present mild, moderate or severe
forms of the disease, depending on the plasma level of the factor. In Colombia and
worldwide, hemophilia was recognized as a rare disease that represents a public
health problem due to its highly specialized care, which increases the costs associated
with health care, and affects the quality of life of patients and those around
them, as well as representing a diagnostic challenge that requires constant updating,
so that it can be treated effectively.
