"Christmas disease" nghĩa là gì?
10 Jan, 2023
"Christmas disease" = bệnh Christmas -> nghĩa là bệnh di truyền khi người bệnh không có yếu tố IX trong máu, từ đó không thể cầm máu sau khi bị thương; bệnh máu không đông.
Ví dụ
Christmas disease is also called factor IX hemophilia and hemophilia B. It is named after Stephen Christmas, who was the first person to be diagnosed (chẩn đoán) with it in 1952.
Over 60% of Christmas disease cases are genetic (bệnh di truyền) and are passed down from parent to child. However, approximately one third of cases come from a gene mutation that can cause problems with factor IX, a clotting protein needed for proper blood clotting (đông máu).
People with Christmas disease tend to bleed more than others, and the bleeding is usually internal (chảy máu trong). How often and how badly a person bleeds depends on how much factor IX, also known as FIX or Christmas factor, is in the person’s plasma. Plasma is the mildly yellow, fluid part of the blood.
Living with Christmas disease can be challenging (đầy thử thách), especially for those with more severe symptoms. With the right treatment and care, though, it is possible to live a happy and normal life.
