How Does Histology Help in Understanding Hemophilia A?
In Hemophilia A, histological studies focus on blood vessels and clot formation. Key features include:
- Absence of Clotting Factor VIII: Immunohistochemistry can be used to detect the presence or absence of clotting factor VIII. - Abnormal Clot Formation: Histological analysis of blood clots can reveal irregularities in their structure, indicating impaired clotting mechanisms.
