Why do Hemophiliacs have trouble clotting their blood after injury?
Wiki User
∙ 8y ago
When a hemophiliac has a cut, the air will dry the blood into something of a temporary a scab, but the patient is missing coagulation factors. They do not have something called fibrin that causes an actual clotting to occur. This means a real scab is not formed, and any little touch can cause the cut to begin bleeding again.
