Uncommon Inherited Clotting Disorders
Introduction
 Hemophilia is the most common hereditary clotting disorder (see also People with deficiencies of these clotting factors bruise easily and may have bleeding that is hard to stop (see also Bruising and Bleeding ). Bleeding that is difficult to control after injury or surgery in a person who does not have hemophilia may indicate that a person has an uncommon clotting disorder. Doctors measure the levels of clotting factors in a blood sample in people who experience bruising or bleeding that is difficult to control. Treatment depends on the specific factor that is deficient but usually includes replacing the deficient clotting factor.
