Testing for Hemophilia?


How do you test for Hemophilia? Is there a certain machine at the hospitals? And no, I'm not looking for symptoms. Thanks.

People with a family history of hemophilia may wish to undergo genetic counseling before having children. Genetic counseling can help couples determine the risk of a child being born with hemophilia or of carrying the gene. Genetic counseling may include genetic testing and prenatal screening. If genetic testing reveals a high probability of passing hemophilia to children, prenatal counseling is available to weigh all the risks.


Although Hemophilia A and B are common, genetic testing may reveal other varieties of the disease. A blood clotting disorder known as von Willebrand's disease is more commonly diagnosed, and easier to treat, than hemophilia.

Genetic testing may also reveal other, more rare coagulation disorders, such as those affecting the following blood clotting factors:
fibrinogen
prothrombin
clotting factor V
clotting factor VII
clotting factor X
clotting factor XI
clotting factor XIII.

they test for Hemophilia by measuring the calcium ions in our blood that are responsible for clotting, and the thrombosin, which is another phospho bi- product that helps trigger the clot formation of the platelets. It is a blood test that determines it.
