Is There A Cure

You might have noticed that a lot of my posts have been at night, and that would be because I only have time for a quick blurb with hours upon agonizing hours of rehearsals and other homework. So without further ado, my nightly blurb.
Is there a cure for hemophilia? Unfortunately, no. The easiest way to get a temporary cure is to inject commercially produced clotting factor concentrates to replenish or replace the missing factor. You can get these from plasma-derived factor concentrates or recombinant factor concentrates. Plasma-derived concentrates come from human plasma, where as recombinant ones are genetically engineered.
Injections can be given when bleeding occurs, but they also can be used preventively. Many people have learned how to self-administer the concentrates at home.
Desmopressin acetate is a drug that mimics a naturally occurring hormone within the body that releases factor viii from where it's stored in bodily tissues. It can be injected or taken nasally and applies to those  with mild to moderate hemophilia who are lacking in factor viii.
Epsilon Amino Caproic Acid can be administered via the vein or mouth and is a chemical that prevents clots from breaking down. It is normally used for bleeding in the mouth, as it inhibits an enzyme in saliva that breaks down clots.
Finally, there is cryoprecipitate. It's the substance that results from thawing out frozen plasma and it is rich in factor viii. However, unlike with plasma-derived factor concentrates, there is no way to kill viruses residing within it. Therefore, it is only used in developing countries.
Really, the most important thing is to pay attention to one's lifestyle. Avoid rough, contact sports and stay cautious. There are various organizations that provide information, care, or support for those with hemophilia and there families, such as:
Centers For Disease Control and Prevention (cdc.gov)
The National Hemophilia Foundation hemophilia.org
Steps For Living stepsforliving.hemophilia.org
Alliance of Genetic Support Groups medhelp.org/geneticalliance
