Factor X Deficiency

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.

Traditionally, factor X deficiency was treated with prothrombin complex concentrates, which carried the risk of blood clots. Today, factor X deficiency can be treated with Coagadex® (coagulation factor X [human]), available through Diplomat Specialty Infusion Group.
