Overview

Beginning of the treatment of patients with hemophilia in IHBT (Institute of Hematology and Blood Transfusion) dates back to the 60th the last century. To date it was created a comprehensive care; from diagnostic to preventive and therapeutic. Diagnostic is concentrated in the NRL for hemostasis, there got all the available methodologies, protein and molecular-genetic. Therapeutic and preventive care is concentrated in the Center for Thrombosis and Hemostasis (CTH IHBT) and clinical departments of IHBT. In collaboration with orthopedic, surgical and other specialized clinics they provide care during invasive procedures. IHBT was appointed as one of the two CCC (Comprehensive Care Centers) for the diagnosis and treatment of adult patients with hemophilia in the Czech Republic. CTH is taking care about more than 200 patients with hemophilia A/B. One third of patients have a severe type of hemophilia. Part of the preventive care it is the active search for female carriers of hemophilia and the collaboration with centers of medical genetics in prenatal diagnosis of hemophilia. About half of the patients of Czech Republic with a complicated form of hemophilia – with the presence of F VIII/IX inhibitor are followed up in the center. CTH is also taking care about patients with acquired hemophilia A.

Key words:
hemophilia A/B – coagulation factor VIII/IX – F VIII inhibitor – carrier of hemophilia – mutations in gene for F VIII/FIX – substitutive treatment
