A member asked:
I recently be diagnosed with a very low blood factor 8. i have been referred th a hematologist, but that takes time. what does a low factor 8 mean?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hemophilia A: This is "classic hemophilia" caused by low levels of factor 8 which is a protein responsible for clotting of blood. There are many different levels of deficiencies of this factor, and treatments for each. The hematologist will be able to discuss these in detail with you. Good luck.
