Overview
Secondary prevention for Hemophilia is aimed at preventing spontaneous or excessive bleeds in patients who are high risk, and relies on the use of recombinant clotting factor VIII/ IX to prevent bleeding episodes.
Secondary Prevention
Secondary preventive measures to avoid Hemophilia A and B include the following:
- Patients should be counseled on safe practices and routine accident prevention.
- Patients with moderate-to-severe hemophilia may be managed with prophylactic transfusions of recombinant clotting factor VIII/ IX in order to prevent bleeding episodes.[1] The goal of prophylaxis is usually to keep clotting factor levels at 1 percent or greater at all times.[2]
- Routine prophylactic transfusions are not recommended for patients with mild hemophilia.
