hemophilia

How is Hemophilia Managed in Newborns?

Management of hemophilia in newborns involves a multidisciplinary approach:
1. Immediate Care: Administration of the missing clotting factor (VIII or IX) during bleeding episodes.
2. Preventive Measures: Prophylactic infusions of clotting factors to prevent spontaneous bleeding.
3. Genetic Counseling: Providing information to the family about the inheritance pattern and implications for future pregnancies.
4. Monitoring: Regular follow-up with a hematologist to monitor the baby's condition and adjust treatment as needed.
