Hemophilia & Bleeding Disorders
Factor Replacement Therapy
Hemophilia and other bleeding disorders require specialized infusion therapy to replace missing or deficient clotting factors. Our experienced nurses provide comprehensive home infusion services to help patients manage their conditions and prevent or treat bleeding episodes.
What are Bleeding Disorders?
Bleeding disorders affect the body's ability to form blood clots properly. Without adequate clotting factors, even minor injuries can lead to prolonged or uncontrolled bleeding.
- Inherited genetic conditions
- Affect blood clotting ability
- Require factor replacement
Treatment Approaches
Treatment can be prophylactic (preventive) or on-demand. Prophylactic therapy involves regular infusions to prevent bleeding, while on-demand treatment addresses active bleeding episodes.
- Prophylactic prevention
- On-demand treatment
- Immune tolerance therapy
Bleeding Disorders We Treat
