Hemophilia is a rare genetic blood clotting disorder that primarily affects males.  People with hemophilia do not produce enough of, or are missing, certain blood clotting proteins called factors.  The body depends on these clotting factors to stop bleeding after injury and to promote healing.  When a person with hemophilia gets a cut or bleeds internally, it results in longer bleeding episodes.  Internal bleeding is usually into joints and muscles, but can also occur in the brain or other organs.

As part of the body´s waste-removal system, healthy kidneys work primarily to clean the blood of wastes produced through food intake and metabolic function. Every hour of every day, blood travels from the heart to the kidneys for a "cleansing" process.
