Explanation of Condition
Most haemophilias are inherited disorders of blood clotting. They may be of varying severity, but generally prohibit bone marrow donation.
Some haemophilias are acquired during life, and may be transient.

Discuss with medical officer.
For known history:
Unacceptable if history of excessive spontaneous or provoked bleeding, or laboratory demonstrated severe or moderate haemophilia (including asymptomatic factor XI deficiency).
Female carriers of haemophilia A and B should be discussed with medical officer. Consider for PBSC only if bleeding risk thought to be negligeable and after liaison with haemophilia centre.
Not for central venous catheter insertion or bone marrow harvest.
Any degree of factor XII deficiency is acceptable as long as there is no history of thrombosis.
For newly identified clotting abnormalities at medical:
Assess the donor for personal and family history of excessive bleeding and bruising.
- Do you have any bleeding symptoms such as frequent nose bleeds, bleeding from the back passage or bleeding from the gums?
- Have you ever consulted a doctor or received treatment for prolonged or unusual bleeding e.g. with nosebleeds or minor wounds?
- Do you experience bruises/haematomas larger than 2cm without trauma, or severe bruising after minor trauma?
- Have you ever had surgery (major or minor) or any dental procedures? If yes - Have you ever experienced or been told you had prolonged or excessive bleeding after or during these procedures or required medical attention for this?
- Is there anyone in your family who suffers from a bleeding disorder e.g. Haemophilia/Von Willebrand disease?
If assigned female at birth:
- Have you ever consulted a doctor or received treatment for heavy or prolonged menstrual periods (contraceptive pill, iron etc.)?
- Have you given birth - If yes - Did you experience prolonged or excessive bleeding after delivery?
If the history is reassuring, repeat the coagulation screen with relevant factor levels as spurious results can occur.
If APTT remains prolonged in isolation but factor levels are normal and there is no bleeding history - the donor can be cleared if the CC are in agreement. If there are concerns from the CC or regarding bleeding history discuss case with a clotting specialist.
