What vitamin do hemophiliacs lack?
914806
Hemophilia is not a vitamin deficiency.  It is definitely a lack of a clotting factor.  General hemophilia, or Hemophilia A, is simply a lack of Factor VIII.  Secondarily, iron deficiencies are common, but not a primary cause of Hemophilia A.  Hemophilia B is a Factor IX deficiency.  Von Willebrand Disease is a bleeding disorder caused by a defect or deficiency of a blood clotting protein called von Willebrand Factor.  Thrombophilia, which is also a hemophilia condition where the person is subject to excessive clotting, can be caused by protein C deficiency, protein S deficiency, and anti-thrombin deficiency.  There are other inherited conditions which can also cause Thrombophilia as well.\n\nHTH

Lack of vitamin D causes rickets (insufficient deposition of salts resulting in soft bones). That's the most important you propably wanted to hear. I don't remember anything special about the other vitamins with respect to bone development.

Poor night vision or poor adaptation to darkness is often a clinical sign of vitamin A deficiency and/or zinc deficiency.  How well are you eating?  Are you eating the recommended 5-9 servings of fresh fruits and vegetables and 3 servings of WHOLE grains each day?  Do you have any digestion or malabsorption problems?  Do you have obvious other health problems with your skin, hair, immune system, energy, etc.?\n\nVitamin A and Zinc deficiencies are fairly common because so many people today try to live on junk food diets.  If any of this 'sounds like you' it may be a good idea to see a nutrition-oriented health care professional for proper assessment and guidance.\n\nBest wishes.

hemorrhoids are caused from a lack of Vitamin B6, take 10 mg at each meal until they go away...\nOnce they go away, don't keep taking so much because taking too much of one b vitamin will make you deficient in the other b vitamins, you should take a daily multi vitamin each day.\nPeople in studies that were going to have to have surgery took b6 and they disappeared.

Haemophilia or hemophilia is the name of any of several hereditary genetic illnesses that impair the body's ability to control bleeding. Genetic deficiencies (or, very rarely, an autoimmune disorder) cause lowered plasma clotting factor activity so as to compromise blood-clotting; when a blood vessel is injured, a scab will not form and the vessel can continue to bleed excessively for a very long period of time. The bleeding can be external, if the skin is broken by a scrape, cut or abrasion, or it can be internal, into muscles, joints or hollow organs. It might therefore present visibly as skin bruises, or subtly as melena, hematuria, or bleeding in the brain.

I don't believe you'll find much information about hemophilia on this web site. I have B severe, IXPTC.  And this is the first time I've even seen it mentioned on the site.  Below are two links that might help you get some answers.

Multivitamins are good, but the +iron I would confide in my doctor.  Many people get enough iron in there daily diet without supplementing iron...iron is usually taken when your anemic.

Absolutely and very distinct groups as well.  Firstly, only females are carriers of the disease and only males can get the disease.  There are no females who actually have the disease itself.  None that are known to me at least.\n\nWhat this means is if your mother is a carrier of the abnormal gene which produces hemophilia, and you are her son, you will have the disease itself.  I say you will have it because the chances of her passing it onto you are so great that it is almost 100%.\n\nThe only other distinctive trait is that hemophilia is most common among Caucasian males, specifically white males as opposed to black males - no matter what their origin - African-American, Jamaican, etc.\n\nThe best example of what can happen and did happen just over twenty years ago in the United States:  A husband and wife had three sons and the mother was the carrier of the hemophilia gene.  All three sons were born with hemophilia.  This was when the medical community knew very little about the early stages of what we now know to be HIV, AIDS, etc.  All three sons had to have regular blood transfusions due to their hemophilia and unfortunately, all three received tainted blood over the course of several years.\n\nThe eldest son was the first in the family to die of AIDS, followed by the other two.  This was a big news story back then - you may wish to check the net for info on it - the eldest son was one of the main recipients of the first charities started for AIDS patients (by Elton John in particular) and his name was Ryan White.  This is no secret so I am not divulging information that is not already known by the medical community as well as other international sources.\n\nSo, you can see that in a way, parents who already know that the female partner is a carrier of the gene may be putting any children they have at risk by choosing to have children.  Sons will likely be born with the disease and daughters will likely be born as carriers of the disease.\n\nIt seems like a vicious circle but with education and careful consideration, a hemophiliac should be able to live a relatively normal life especially now that blood screening is done at least in most parts of the world.\n\nHowever, in some countries, the screening may not be as vigilant as in North America, so hemophiliacs in some parts of the world may still be at risk of getting HIV, AIDS and other disorders each time they receive a transfusion.\n\nThe reason why hemophiliacs need transfusions is that the disease causes them to bruise very easily and also bleed profusely if cut or scraped.  This occurs most often when the male is a younger person so this is a critical time in their lives.\n  \nSo far, hemophilia is not preventable or curable so once again, education and research are the key and perhaps some day, there may be a cure. \n\nI hope I have helped answer your question and provide some information as well.

Hemophilia affects the X chromosome. The reason that Hemophilia generally only affects men is because that in women, who are generally carriers of the disease, they have an additional X chromosome to offset the bad gene on their other. Men are missing this leg on their Y chromosome, and thus have the disease if they are passed a bad X by their mother.\n\nMen who have hemophilia cannot pass on the disease to their sons, as they would be passing on the Y chromosome, which is perfectly healthy, but all of their daughters would be carriers of the disease, receiving the father's "bad" X chromosome. This is why hemophilia is considered a sex-linked disease.\n\nSo, in short, Hemophilia affects a portion of the DNA on the X chromosome that tells the body how to create Factor VIII or Factor IX (depending on if it's A or B), that portion being absent on the Y chromosome, thus causing the disease.

Vitamin A is Fat-Soluble, that's why you need FAT. By The Way, Vitamins are Not digested!

Honestly, you need to speak with your hematologist.  I also have itp, and after a bad spell in 2002 and transfusions followed by steroids, luckily, my levels have been fairly steady, in the 65k-90k range generally.  I'd make sure that you are taking regular vitamins and just speak with your Dr.  Good luck!
