Is it time to reimagine your haemophilia story?
Understanding how to improve your protection from bleeds and engage in more meaningful conversations with your doctor may help you identify personal goals and reimagine your future with haemophilia.

Learn how factor levels impact protection from bleeds
This video explores the concept of normalised haemostasis and how maintaining it could mean that people with haemophilia are able to live a life with less impact on their well-being.
Understanding levels of protection
A person’s level of protection from bleeds depends on factor levels, which represent the amount of clotting factor in the blood. Factor levels also indicate the severity of haemophilia and impact the symptoms you may experience.
Normalised haemostasis is when levels of factor in the blood needed for blood clotting are the same or nearly the same as a person without haemophilia. Achieving normalised haemostasis happens when factor levels are above 40%. This level of factor may provide increased protection against joint bleeds, impacting joint health, pain and overall well-being.
Speak to your doctor to better understand your factor levels and the impact they may have on your daily activities.
