Abstract

Hemophilia is an X-linked bleeding disorder resulting from loss or decrease of the clotting factors VIII or IX. These two factors play a critical role in thrombin generation during thrombus formation. This chapter reviews the roles of factors VIII and IX in coagulation, the clinical presentation of individuals with hemophilia, and their clinical and laboratory evaluation.
