Haemophilic arthropathy - what does this mean
Haemophilic arthropathy is a type of joint damage that occurs in people with haemophilia, a condition in which the body does not produce enough clotting factors to stop bleeding. this condition can cause bleeding in the joints, which can lead to joint damage and chronic pain. over time, the joint damage can become severe, leading to joint deformity and disability.
What happens during the disease - haemophilic arthropathy
Haemophilic arthropathy is a type of joint disease caused by a deficiency of clotting factor viii or ix, which leads to excessive bleeding in the joints. this bleeding leads to inflammation, swelling, and destruction of the joint cartilage, causing pain, stiffness, and decreased range of motion. over time, this can lead to joint deformities, disability, and even death if left untreated.

How does a doctor diagnose
- Complete physical examination
- X-ray of affected joints
- Blood tests to detect factor VIII and IX levels
- Joint aspiration to detect for infection
- MRI scan to assess joint damage
- Ultrasound to detect for joint effusion
- CT scan to assess for bone damage
- Bone scan to detect for bone inflammation
Treatment and Medical Assistance
Main goal of the Treatment: To reduce joint pain and stiffness and improve joint mobility
- Physical therapy to improve joint flexibility and strength
- Medication to reduce inflammation and pain
- Regular exercise to maintain joint strength and mobility
- Assistive devices to reduce pressure on affected joints
- Occupational therapy to help with daily activities
- Surgery to repair damaged joints
No Hospitalization Required
Average Time for Outpatient Care Not Established
Haemophilic arthropathy - Prevention
The best way to prevent haemophilic arthropathy is to ensure that individuals with haemophilia receive regular preventive treatment with clotting factor replacement therapy to control bleeding episodes. regular physical therapy and exercise can also help to maintain joint health and mobility. additionally, individuals should avoid contact sports and activities that may increase their risk of joint injury.
