Hemophilia
Introduction Commonest inherited bleeding disorder Bleeding due to deficiency of FVIII / IX / XI coagulant activity Severity of bleeding is related to FVIII / IX /XI concentration in blood
INCIDENCE 1 per 5,000 male births 1 per 10,000 population 85 % - F VIII deficiency 10- 15 % - F IX deficiency Haemophilia A: B= 7:1
Father with Haemophilia: Daughters are carriers Sons normal Mother with haemophilia gene (carrier) Sons 50:50 normal or affected Daughters 50:50 normal or carriers INHERITANCE
FEMALES AFFECTED ONLY WHEN : TURNERS SYNDROME MOSAICISM/LYONISATION MOTHER TO DAUGHTER TRANSMISSION (POSSIBLE THEORETICALLY BUT EXTREMLY RARE)
Types: Haemophilia A – deficiency of Factor VIII Haemophilia B – deficiency of Factor IX Haemophilia C – deficiency of Factor XI
Severity of Haemophilia Severity Factor level iu /dl (%) Type of presentation Severe < 1 Spontaneous bleeds, Severe bleeding Moderate 1-5 Few bleeds, Haemathrosis - traumatic Mild 5-30 Few bleeds, Post-traumatic Post-dental surgery
CLINICAL FEATURES – SUBTLE Bleeding as a baby rare Prolonged bleed from umbilical cord Muscle hematoma during immunisation Bleeding during circumcision
CLINICAL FEATURES – SUBTLE Toddlers - Large and prolonged bleed to trivial injury/cuts/abrasions Lip bleeds (hematomas) First bleeding in childhood Tooth extraction Trauma with walking G um bleeds while brushing teeth
CLINICAL FEATURES - FRANK HEMARTHROSIS ( joint bleed) – hallmark of hemophilia Joints affected: in toddlers - ankle (most common) – earliest jt involved due to lack of stability as they assume upright posture Older child – knee, elbow (most common) ** Target joint – recurrent bleeding at a same joint LL > UL
Bleeding in Haemophilia BLEEDING IN CARRIERS Reduced FVIII (IX) levels Mild bleeding tendency Childbirth
C/F OF ACUTE HAEMARTHROSIS Abnormal sensation Pain and swelling of joint Limitation of movement - especially flexion Tenderness and heat in the joint Acute symptoms last 3-4 days; full recovery takes weeks
Complications : Pain Anaemia (proportionate to bleeding) Constitutional disturbances: fever < 24 hrs anorexia, malaise Chronic arthritis Pressure effects of large haematomas Transfusion acquired infections Inhibitors
Lab findings: Hb low – proportional to blood loss Platelets- normal Bleeding time -normal PT normal APTT prolonged > 2-3 times ULN CT prolonged Low levels of F VIII / IX Factor VIII and IX assay : mixing studies Genetic analysis
MIXING STUDIES To determine if prolonged PT or PTT is due to a factor deficiency or an inhibitor Normal plasma : all Clotting factors-V,VIII, IX,X,XI,XII Method: add patient plasma to equal volume of normal plasma and repeat PT & PTT Correction of PT & PTT – suggests- deficiency of clotting factors Assays for factors
MIXING STUDIES Remains prolonged after mixing study: indicates inhibitor - most common is lupus anticoagulant - therapeutic anticoagulant - rarely ,inhibitors to factors VIII, IX, XI
Inhibitors: Antibodies against factors blocks clotting activity 14-25 % patients who receive factors (VIII/ IX) Failure of a bleeding episode to respond to appropriate replacement therapy 1 st sign of inhibitor Others develop higher titres desensitisation- higher doses of factors given
RADIOLOGICAL INVESTIGATIONS Radiographs of joints USG joints for effusions MRI joints/ abdomen CT head
MANAGEMENT - PRINICIPLES Control bleeding episodes – replacement therapy Prophylaxis and prevention Life style modifications Treatment of complications Rehabilitation Antenatal diagnosis and counselling Team effort : pediatrician, hematologist, orthopedician, physiotherapist, dentist
FFP AND CRYOPPT FFP contains F VIII and IX CRYOPPT contains F-VIII, fibrinogen, VWF 1 unit FFP = 200 units factor VIII/IX 1 unit cryoppt = 100 units factor VIII FVIII 1u/kg Increase plasma factor VIII by 2% ( 2 iu/dl) - t ½ = 8 hrs FIX 1u/kg Increase plasma factor IX by 1% (1iu/dl) - t ½ = 18-20 hrs Risk of HIV, HBV, HCV, CMV transmission
FACTOR CONCENTRATES Prothrombin complex concentrates (PCC) - Contain F IX & Vitamin K dependent factors I.e. II, VII, IX, X – high cost Pure factor IX concentrates available Currently high cost
THERAPY FOR HAEMOPHILIA FACTOR RECOVERY AFTER I.V. INFUSION Factor VIII 100% Factor IX 30-50% Raise factor levels to: 100 U/dl – life threatening bleeds 35- 40 U/dl – other bleeds
Dose of F VIII (U): desired rise in plasma F VIII (U/dl) X body wt (kg) X 0.5 Dose of F IX (U): desired rise in plasma F IX (U/dl) X body wt (kg) X 1.4 DOSAGE CALCULATION
Other measures: General supportive measures: bed rest hospitalize for severe bleeds analgesics Local haemostasis Immobilisation Physiotherapy
HEMARTHOSIS MANAGEMENT 25 U F-VIII/kg q12h Prompt rx : prevent early sequalae Check APTT Joint immobilisation - 48hrs Early ambulation and physio NSAIDS : Aspirin, indomethacin – with caution- may induce GI bleed Paracetamol, pethidine, diazepam – can be used Home infusions : train for early administration
PROPHYLAXIS Mild/moderate hemophilia 10-20 units/kg 2-3 times/week Can have normal life and participate in sports
PREVENTION Immunisation : SC not IM Avoid IM injections- apply pressure 5 minutes Avoid contact sports
Orthopaedic care- traction, splinting, reconstructive surgery Regular dental exam and hygiene Prophylactic immunization- hep B Counselling P REVENTION
DRUGS EACA - aminocaproic acid Tranexemic acid : 25mg/kg/day Desmopressin acetate : increases levels for first 2 days from body stores Danazol Fibrin glue : tooth extraction
ANTENATAL DIAGNOSIS 18-20 weeks Male fetuses Fetal blood : Amniotic fluid fibroblasts : DNA probe Chorionic villous sampling : PCR
PROPHYLACTIC THERAPY Initiated with the 1 st bleed Home - self or patient infused Small dose FVIII (FIX) 2-3 X /week ( 20%-30%) Prevents bleeds Prevents long term sequelae THERAPY FOR SURGERY/ DENTISTRY Prophylactic Enables major procedures - 10 days cover
