Overview
Risk factors for development of Hemophilia A include being of male sex and having a positive family history of the disease.
It is of note that acquired forms of the disease occur in specific circumstances including Malignancies, Pregnancy, Autoimmune disorders, Certain medications; All of which could be considered as Hemophilia risk factor either.
Risk Factors
Common risk factors in the development of Hemophilia A are:
Best-studied risk factors of the acquired form of the disease include:
- Malignancies (mostly hematologic)
- Pregnancy
- Autoimmune disorders(Lupus erythematosus, Rheumatoid arthritis)
- Infections(Hepatitis C, AIDS)
- Certain Drugs consumption (e.g. Interferon-ą)
- Dermatological conditions(Pemphigus, Psoriasis)
Of note, the majority of reported acquired cases of Hemophilia are about Hemophilia A type. It appears that, the same as congenital form, acquired form of Hemophilia B is rarer than Hemophilia A too.
The remaining cases of acquired Hemophilia are idiopathic or the underlying etiology is not known yet.
