Hemophilia B: Symptoms, Signs, and Causes

Treatment and Management of Hemophilia B. Treatment for Hemophilia B focuses on replacing the missing or deficient factor IX to prevent and control bleeding episodes. This is typically done through intravenous infusions of recombinant factor IX concentrates, which can be administered on a regular schedule (prophylaxis) or as needed (on-demand) in response to bleeding episodes. Recent advancements have introduced gene therapy as a potential treatment option, aiming to provide a long-term solution by introducing a functional copy of the F9 gene into the patient's liver cells.
