Blood coagulation factor whose lack of activity in plasma causes haemophilia A.
A protein involved in the normal process of blood coagulation. The absence or severe deficiency of FVIII leads to spontaneous, uncontrolled internal bleeding that oftentimes leads to restricted mobility, pain and, if left untreated, death. Deficiency or absence of FVIII leads to the clinical condition known hemophilia A.
Anti-hemophilic factor needed for blood to clot.
a protein in the blood that promotes clotting. Some hemophiliacs lack factor VIII and use a replacement derived from multiple blood/plasma donors; many hemophiliacs were infected with HIV prior to widespread antibody testing of donated blood.
A protein in the blood that is essential for clotting. Factor VIII levels are low in people with VWD and hemophilia A.
a coagulation factor (trade name Hemofil) whose absence is associated with hemophilia A
One of several factors crucial for the blood clotting process. Hereditary deficiency of this factor is called hemophilia. Hemophiliacs are treated with Factor VIII concentrates from blood donors.
One of the clotting factors in the blood. Congenital absence of Factor VIII results in hemophilia A.
One of the proteins involved in blood clotting, whose deficiency causes hemophilia.
The clotting factor that people with haemophilia A are missing.
The clotting factor protein absent or decreased in patients with Hemophilia A. Also called anti-hemophilic factor.
Factor VIII (FVIII) is an essential clotting factor. The lack of normal FVIII causes Hemophilia A, an inherited bleeding disorder.
