When someone cuts themselves, they expect to stop bleeding. Unfortunately that is not what happens when people have a bleeding disorder. People who have a bleeding disorder do not bleed any faster than others, they just do not stop bleeding if they cut themselves.
Bleeding Disorders
- Hemophilia A
- Hemophilia B
- Von Willebrand Disease
- Platelet Adhesion Disorders
- Multiple Factor Deficiencies
Platelet Disorders
Platelet disorders are often a concern. Platelets levels can be either too low or too high. Sometimes platelet are neither low nor high; they just do not work as they are supposed to work. All of these concerns are important. We at Prairie Bleeding and Clotting are very comfortable taking care of these issues
- Immune Thrombocytopenic Purpura
- Platelet Adhesion Disorders
- Glanzman’s Thrombasthenia
- Storage Pool Platelet Disorders
- Platelet adhesion disorders secondary to drugs
Clotting Disorders
It is a very scary thing for someone to go to the Emergency Room and be told that “you have a blood clot.” Helping to know what to do next and helping to understand why the blood clot happened in the first place are the things that we do.
- Factor V Leiden Abnormality
- MTHFR genetic mutation
- Prothrombin Promoter Inhibitor mutation
- Protein C and/or Protein S deficiency
- Elevated serum Homocysteine levels
Plasma Disorders
Plasma disorders are as well our strength. Plasma and its constituents affect the function of the blood. Whether it is serum plasma components such as clotting factors or humoral immune components such as Gamma Globulines (IgG, IgM, IgA, IgD or IgE), we specialize in the plasma aspects of blood related disorders.
- Multiple Myeloma
- Waldenstrom’s Macroglobulinemia
- Acquired Immune Deficiency
- Gamma Globulinemia Disorders
