Speaker A
Hey guys, it's your favorite medical channel, Medicos Whisper Fiction. A nurse or medicine makes perfect sense. In the previous videos, we have talked about hemophilia, hemophilia B, and hemophilia C. Today, we'll compare among the three. Don't forget, hemophilia A is factor 8, hemophilia B is factor 9, how about C? Don't say 10, say 11. Hemophilia is the royal disease, and we have talked about this before. Normally, when you bleed, you should clot, but this is not going to happen if you have a secondary hemostasis defect such as hemophilia. These are the steps of hemostasis. As you know, hemophilia is a problem here. If I have a problem with factor 8, this is hemophilia A. With factor 9, listen, hemophilia B. With factor 11, this is hemophilia C, yes. A secondary hemostasis defect. We use PT and PTT to test for them. PT is for the extrinsic pathway. This is normal in hemophilia, but PTT, the intrinsic pathway, is abnormal. That's why the lab test is prolonged in hemophilia regardless of the subtype. This is primary hemostasis, but we don't care about this right now. This is secondary hemostasis, and we do care about this right now. Here is hemophilia A, here is hemophilia B, and here is hemophilia C. Touchdown, baby! Oh, and we have a pharmacology marathon on Facebook. Please join us, it's epic. Mediocre students do not study in July and August, but not you guys, you're killing it. A problem with factor 8 is called hemophilia A or classic hemophilia. A problem with factor 9 is hemophilia B or Christmas disease. A problem with factor 11 is hemophilia C or Rosenthal syndrome. Secondary hemostasis is the problem in cases of hemophilia. It's not uncommon for a patient with hemophilia to experience late bleeding, hemarthrosis, deep muscle bleeding, rich burgi of bleeding, intracranial bleeding, etc. Hemophilia A, a problem with factor 8, is an X-linked recessive disease. Hemophilia B is an X-linked recessive problem with factor 9. Hemophilia C is autosomal recessive. The problem with factor 11 is not X-linked recessive. Therefore, it's going to be more common in boys if it's autosomal recessive. Remember consanguinity. Hemophilia A is X-linked recessive, almost always males. One in every 10,000 males usually have hemophilia A. The pathophysiology is a problem with the activity of factor 8. The calculation of factor number 8 could be due to a deficiency of the factor or an inhibitor, an antibody against the factor. Clinically, deep bleeding such as hemarthrosis, hematomas, etc. Please count is normal, bleeding times normal, yeah, because primary hemostasis is fine. Factor 8 activity is low. Factor 8 level could be low if it's a deficiency, could be normal if it's an inhibitor. How do I talk to the friends between underproduction or over destruction? You do a mixing study. If the lab tests normalize, it was a deficiency. If it's still low, it's an inhibitor. Treatment of hemophilia A: plasma-derived factor 8 concentrate, recombinant factor 8, something called the NEC zoom amber, which is hemlibra. Also, desmopressin can help because, as you know, desmopressin will facilitate the expression of von Willebrand factor, which will help factor 8. Next, hemophilia B or Christmas disease. After D, the story about Christmas disease and Steven Christmas before hemophilia B. This is the one that happened to Queen Victoria's grandchildren. Here again, almost always male, but this is one in every twenty-five thousand. This is less common than hemophilia A. Pathophysiology: problem with factor 9 activity could be deficiency, could be inhibitor. The same depleting, same thing, mixing study, everything, just instead of factor 8 say factor 9, instead of factor 8a, factor 9. My famous antibiotics course is on sale right now.

In fact, it is autosomal recessive. Therefore, consanguinity. Therefore, it's going to be more common in a certain group or population. In case of hemophilia C, it's Eastern European Jews or the Ashkenazi Jews. We have talked about some autosomal recessive diseases before, and we have emphasized consanguinity as one of the factors, not the only factor, it's one of the factors. And this is the genetic pedigree that explains why consanguinity is associated with autosomal recessive diseases. Poor Judy. Hemophilia C is autosomal recessive, therefore consequently Ashkenazi Jewish population. Pathophysiology: the problem is factor 11. Deep bleeding, same exact thing, just substitute factor 11 for factor 8 and you're good to go. Hemophilia, whether it's A, B, or C, will have normal platelet count, normal bleeding time, normal PT, but a prolonged aPTT, activated partial thromboplastin time. Let's compare between the three diseases in this marvelous table: hemophilia A, B, and C. Synonyms: this is the classic hemophilia A, this is the Christmas disease, this is the Rosenthal syndrome. Inheritance: X-linked recessive, X-linked recessive, be careful, it is autosomal recessive. Epidemiology: if it's X-linked recessive, therefore boys more than girls, all these more than girls. Autosomal recessive doesn't matter, but remember autosomal recessive, therefore consanguinity common. This is the most common by far and also the worst. It's the most severe as well. The defect is in secondary hemostasis, specifically the intrinsic pathway. If it's hemophilia A, we have prime factor 8, B factor 9, C factor 11. How about platelet count and time? Since the primary hemostasis is fine, they will be normal across the board. PT, since the extrinsic pathway is normal, they will be normal across the board. However, aPTT is the intrinsic pathway. If it's factor 8, factor 9, or factor 11, all of them are in the intrinsic pathway, and that's why aPTT will be prolonged in all of them. Treatment: recombinant factor 8, recombinant factor 9, recombinant factor 11, freaking desmopressin or DDAVP can help with hemophilia A only because it helps factor 8 only. Okay, better kosis, but is there such a thing as acquired hemophilia? You told me that hemophilia A and B are X-linked recessive, whereas hemophilia C is autosomal recessive. Okay, all of them are congenital. Is there such a thing as acquired hemophilia? Yeah, but we do not say acquired hemophilia. We say acquired factor inhibitor or acquired factor deficiency. This is an antibody against factor 8, factor 9, and factor 11 respectively. But please do not say acquired hemophilia because it gets confused with the congenital hemophilia. If it's congenital, called hemophilia. If it's acquired, called acquired factor inhibitor. For example, acquired factor 8 inhibitor, acquired factor 9 inhibitor, etc. Late complications of hemophilia: if you want some exam questions that very few students will be able to answer, there you go. Hemophilic arthropathy, multiple hemorrhages, add a target joint. Most common is the knee, ankle, and elbow. This can happen, and it's called hemophilic arthropathy. Very important: development of antibodies. So, I am a patient, I have hemophilia. Doctors gave me factor 8, if it's hemophilia A, for instance, and then I developed an antibody against factor 8. Whew, that's bad. And this is that so-called acquired hemophilia, but do not say acquired hemophilia, say acquired factor inhibitor. Transfusion-related infections: remember the HIV that happened in Steven Christmas, but now we screen blood for HIV, so therefore you are receiving HIV in blood transfusion is very unlikely. However, what is likely is parvovirus B19 leading to transient aplastic crisis. If you remember my hematology playlist, we have talked about this a lot. It happened to patients with beta thalassemia. It happened to patients with sickle cell anemia, etc. And the nasty, ugly son of a—prion disease such as Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease. Question number twenty-nine in this glorious playlist on bleeding and coagulation disorders: please mention six or more X-linked recessive diseases. Let me know the answer in the comment section. You'll find the correct answers in the next video. Let's talk about hemophilia A from pick Monica Mophie Leah. This is the hemophilia file. What's going on? Genetic mutation, these are abnormal genes. There is prolong...
