Overview
Hemophilia must be differentiated from other diseases that cause abnormal or excessive bleeding.[1]
Differentiating Hemophilia A from other Diseases
The most important differential diagnosis of Hemophilia A is that of hemophilia B (also known as Christmas disease) or von Willebrand disease (the most common hereditary clotting disorder). The former is usually considered if factor VIII levels are normal in a person with a hemophilia phenotype. The latter is excluded on routine testing for that condition.
Differential Diagnosis
Other diseases which should be considered in the differential include:[2][3][4][5][6]
- Warfarin toxicity
- Liver disease
- Vitamin K deficiency
