Inherited diseases remain a mystery for world medicine. Scientists and doctors around the globe study congenital pathologies every year and seek new and effective solutions to this complex medical problem. However, Israeli medicine has excelled in this area. Evidence of this is provided by statistical research data and numerous grateful reviews about healing from the best hematologists in the world.
The main principles of hemophilia treatment in Israel are not just to alleviate the patient's condition but to completely rid them of the pathology that threatens their life. Using modern equipment and the latest medical research, Israeli doctors achieve the highest cure rates for the most complex and severe diseases of humanity, including hemophilia.
Hemophilia is a severe and mysterious inherited disease. The essence of the pathology lies in the disruption of blood coagulation. Severe hemophilia can lead to complete disability due to extensive bleeding into the joints. The greatest danger comes from bleeding in the brain, which often results in the patient's death. Even minor injuries or bruises can cause significant external or internal bleeding.
The main principles of hemophilia treatment in Israel
Israeli medicine has extensive experience and capabilities in treating hemophilia. Mild forms of the disease require therapy only in the case of injury or during preparation for surgery. Patients with severe forms leading to disability must undergo regular treatment.
- Basic treatment method – replacement therapy. The patient is administered concentrates of blood coagulation factors. In severe cases, this is done through intravenous injections, while in mild cases, it is administered as a nasal spray.
- Treatment aimed at normalizing the condition of the organ where bleeding occurred. Recurrent hematomas provoke the growth of connective tissue within them, which ultimately fills the joint cavity completely. To prevent such complications, the patient undergoes joint aspiration to remove blood and administer anti-inflammatory and hormonal medications. In cases of ankylosis, the Top Ichilov clinic widely employs arthroscopic and plastic surgeries on the joints. Physiotherapeutic procedures are also included in the treatment course. If necessary, patients are provided with immobilization of the injured limb.
- Liver lobe transplantation from a donor – a relative of the patient. This is the most progressive method of treating hemophilia, developed recently. The essence of the method is that the necessary blood coagulation factors are produced in the liver. As early as the 2nd to 3rd day, the transplanted liver lobe begins to produce them, thus freeing the patient from the need to constantly take medications. Such surgeries can even be performed on children from 6 months of age.

Accurate diagnosis – the path to proper therapy
First day – consultation with the leading hematologist of the clinic

Main
- Coagulogram.
- Blood coagulation time and prothrombin index.
- Genetic testing.
Additional
- X-ray of the joints (in the presence of hemarthroses).
- Abdominal ultrasound (in cases of internal bleeding and hematomas).
- Pelvic ultrasound (in the presence of blood in urine).
- Perinatal diagnosis (for women in the 1st trimester of pregnancy) – hemophilia can be detected as early as the 8th week of the intrauterine period.
Third day – therapy plan
Based on the results of the examinations, the hematologist develops an individual treatment plan for the patient and, if necessary, gathers a consultation of specialists from other fields of medicine.
