heamophilia is a disease in people which makes your blood go weird :) it is a genetic disorder where the person lack of clotting factor in the blood. A person with haemophilia will have trouble with bleeding because the bleeding wont stop due to the lack of blood-clotting factor.
What are the three types of haemophilias?
Haemophilia A - an inhibition of clotting caused by a deficiency in a protein called Clotting Factor VIII Haemophilia B - an inhibition of clotting caused by a deficiency in a protein called Clotting Factor IX Haemophilia C - an inhibition of clotting caused by a deficiency in a protein called Clotting Factor XI -similar to- vonWillebrand's Disorder - an inhibition of clotting caused by a deficiency in a protein called the vonWillebrand's Factor
What can lower your blood clotting factor My niece a 38 year old women has been recently told that she has a form of hemophilia. Are there other situations that can lower your clotting factor?
There are several medications that can lower the clotting factor proteins' levels in your blood. Since the production of the clotting factor proteins mainly takes place in the liver, liver disease, liver damage, and medications that effect the liver can impact clotting factor levels. Hormones can significantly impact clotting factor levels as well. Females often have hormone changes at ages near 38. Frequently, women who "carry" the genes for hemophilia may bounce between the percentages that denote hemophilia and above, simply due to hormonal changes (<50% means hemophilia, while >50% is normal).

Royal hemophilia is the result of what inheritance?
Hemophilia is broken into three subcategories; Hemophilia A, Hemophilia B, and Hemophilia C. These subcategories designate a person as having a deficiency of one of three specific clotting proteins. Hemophilia A is the deficiency of the protein called Clotting Factor VIII. Hemophilia B is the deficiency of Clotting Factor IX. Hemophilia C is the deficiency of Clotting Factor XI. "Royal" hemophilia is simply a reference to Hemophilia B and is therefore a result of a deficiency in the Clotting Factor IX protein. It is sometimes called the royal disease because it has been known to have been passed through some royal families throughout history.
What is the protein that hemophiliacs lack?
In the most common type, Hemophilia A, the person lacks clotting factor VIII. In Hemophilia B, clotting factor IX is lacking.

What is the independent variable of blood clotting?
