My mum wants to know how long a person with hemophilia lives if they don't receive the factor 8?


Question:
Factor 8, a substance that will allow blood to clot.

Answers:
There are two common forms of hemophilia. One is a result of deficiency or absence of factor VIII, the other is a deficiency of plasma thromboplastin component. This is kind of a silly question. If a hemophiliac is very, very careful, he can live out his entire lifespan whatever that may be. This question doesn't allow for trauma and I am not going to speculate on how every type of injury possible might adversely affect a hemophiliac.
Tell mum to ask the doctor.
