Factor X Deficiency

Simplifying Therapy for Factor X Deficiency

Factor X deficiency, or Stuart-Prower factor deficiency, is a rare bleeding disorder caused by low blood levels of a protein called coagulation factor X. It affects about one person per million worldwide and can vary in severity. The most severe cases occur in childhood, although symptoms can begin at any age.

The disorder can cause bleeding from the nose, from the gums, and under the skin; blood in the urine; easy bruising; and abnormal bleeding after surgery or trauma. Women might have heavy or prolonged bleeding during menstruation or in childbirth, and they might have increased risk of pregnancy loss. Patients with lower levels of coagulation factor X tend to have more severe symptoms, which can include bleeding inside the skull, lungs, or gastrointestinal tract.

Diplomat Specialty Infusion Group provides medication and customized clinical support for patients with factor X deficiency.
