Hemophilia--in general A or B....if its mild we can Treat with Desmopressin??

Hemophilia A-Replace Factor 8 or Cryoprecipitate

Hemophilia B-Replace Factor 9 or FFP

----------------------------
is that correct???

  #2

the aim of using cryoppt is the little amount of these factors in FFP ,it need too much FFP to increase the level of these factors , which is not practical., although Cryoppt is replaced by Recombenent factors and new pasteurized cryoppt.
But in hemophilia B you need the double amount as in A.
Hope helped.smiling face
