Abstract

<h3>ABSTRACT</h3> Patients who present with hemophilia A require treatment to replace low levels of factor VIII (FVIII). Intervention can either be on-demand or prophylactic. The goal of therapy is to prevent joint bleeds that lead to permanent damage. The progression of therapy in hemophilia A has provided patients with options that result in a greatly improved quality of life. The newest development of gene therapy, a replacement for FVIII, may be the answer to cure this disorder. This review provides a historical account of the treatment of hemophilia A as well as current available treatment options.
