First published in 1974, this book helped foster new attitudes towards hereditary bleeding disorders by encouraging hemophiliacs to lead full and active lives. It has been very well received by both the medical and general press and has been translated into many languages around the world. The new edition of Living With Haemophilia has been extensively revised to incorporate the latest advances in treatment. It covers breaking discoveries in gene therapy, explaining the spectacular improvements that have been made in the manufacturing of blood products and the emergence of genetically engineered recombinant DNA concentrates. In order to serve readers better, much of the book has been completely rewritten to make referencing easier. Background information sheets have been included as guides for those wanting further knowledge, leaving the main text free for cohesive reading. Also, the technical material has been more fully explained, making it clearer and more accessible. This essential guide explains bleeding disorders and how they are passed on from generation to generation, the effects of hemophilia on different parts of the body, bleeding episodes and how to control them, safe treatment including home therapy and prophylaxis, physiotherapy, and drug treatment, as well as the special precautions to be taken when a major operation is needed. There is also a section devoted to HIV and AIDS. Written for hemophiliacs and their families as well as their doctors and other caregivers, this book focuses on the management of hemophilia and explains the possibility of its future cure.
