What is the Treatment for Clotting Disorders in Pediatrics?
Treatment depends on the severity and type of the clotting disorder. For hemophilia, treatment typically involves replacement therapy with clotting factor concentrates. Prophylactic treatment may also be used to prevent bleeding episodes. In the case of von Willebrand disease, desmopressin (DDAVP) and clotting factor concentrates may be used. It is essential for children with clotting disorders to have a comprehensive care plan that includes regular follow-ups with a hematologist.
