Factor VII deficiency
Factor VII deficiency is a rare genetic bleeding disorder caused by a lack of Factor VII, a protein essential for blood clotting. Individuals with this condition may experience prolonged bleeding after injuries, surgeries, or dental work. Symptoms can vary in severity, with some people having mild issues while others face more serious complications.
Diagnosis typically involves blood tests to measure Factor VII levels and assess clotting function. Treatment may include infusions of Factor VII concentrate or other supportive measures to manage bleeding episodes. Regular monitoring and medical care are important for those affected by this condition.
