Overview
Hemophilia A must be differentiated from other diseases that cause abnormal or excessive bleeding [1]
Differentiating Hemophilia A from other Diseases
The most important differential diagnosis is that of hemophilia B (also known as Christmas disease) or von Willebrand disease. The former is usually considered if factor VIII levels are normal in a person with a haemophilia phenotype. The latter is excluded on routine testing for that condition.
Differential Diagnosis
Other diseases which should be considered in the differential include:
- Warfarin toxicity
- Liver disease
- Vitamin K deficiency
