Hemophiliacs have normal platelet counts, they bleed because their clotting factors (proteins made by the livers created to help our blood clot when we are bleeding) level is less than 1% vs normal non bleeders @ 50%-100% Hemophiliacs are missing either Factor VIII or Factor IX in their blood (for Hemophilia A or B, respectively). It is due to a defective gene located on the X chromosome. The defect causes the liver (where clotting factors are made) to not produce the needed clotting factors etc
A person with abnormally low platelets is completely different situation/condition called thrombocytopenia and has different signs and symptoms from clotting factor problems like hemophilia.
Now, in contrast, anemia is having too few red blood cells (the cells that make blood red and carry oxygen to all of the cells and tissues in the body) circulating in the bloodstream. It is possible to have both anemia and a hemophilia, to have one without the other, or to have neither one.

What is the difference between iron-deficiency anemia and pernicious anemia?
The main difference is that Iron-Deficiency Anemia is caused by lack of iron, and therefore low haemaglobin levels. Pernicious anamia is caused by a lack of vitimin B12 which aids the production and growth of red blood cells, therefore lowering the haemaglobin level, and both would have a lowered hematocrit level.
Is there a cure for haemophilia?
There is no "cure" for haemophilia, only treatment with the appropriate clotting factors.
What is the major difference between thalassemia and sickle cell anemia?
Thalassemia is a quantitative problem of too few globins synthesized, whereas sickle-cell anemia (a hemoglobinopathy) is a qualitative problem of synthesis of an incorrectly functioning globin. (wikipedia)
Does sleep deprivation leads to anemia?
There is no known direct link between anemia and sleep deprivation.
How many people in the population have haemophilia in the world?
Haemophilia (also spelled hemophilia) is genetic disorder. It is more licely for a male to get it than female. About one of 5,000-10,000 male babies are born with Haemophilia A. About one of 20,000-34,000 male babies are born with Haemophilia B.
How do people suffer with haemophilia?
Haemophilia is a genetic disorder. Usually males are the victims and females are carriers of this disease. There is no prominent cause of this disease but now-a-days it is seen that the families which do not have any history of haemophilia may also have a haemophiliac child. The reason for this is that sometimes there is mutation at genetic level which may lead to deficiency of clotting factor(VIII OR IX) in the blood of the child resulting in haemophilia. One may also suffer from haemophilia at a very later stage of his life but that is very rare. This is the case of Acquired Haemophilia.

Is haemophilia an STD?

What is the difference between amnesia and anemia?
While similar looking words they are quite different. Amnesia in its most basic form memory loss brought on by Brain Damage, Disease, or Psychological Trauma. Anemia is blood disorder that prevents efficient transfer of oxygen throughout the body.
Which hemophilia disorder is genetic?
i believe all types of haemophilia are genetic although i am not sure. but i do know that CLASSIC HAEMOPHILIA is a genetic disorder Haemophilia A and B are both genetic. Haemophilia A (which is the most common) occurs when your blood lacks a clotting agent called factor 8. Haemophilia B occurs when you lack factor 9 in your blood. There is also acquired Haemophilia, this occurs when the immune system starts attacking clotting agents within the blood, this usually occurs in elderly people. Both forms of genetic haemophilia mostly occur in males, it rarely occurs in females. Unfortunately there is no cure but it is quite easily controlled with injections of the missing clotting agent.
What is the difference between relative and absolute anemia?
Relative = normal red blood cell count with a disturbance in regulation of plasma volume. ex- preganat women, athletes, post flight astronauts Absolute Anemia= Those types of anemia with an actual decrease in the number of red cells. Note: can be caused by a decrease production of RBCs or an increased destruction of RBCs
