A bleeding disorder affects the way your blood normally clots. The body produces 13 clotting factors; if any of them are defective or deficient, a bleeding disorder can result. More than 3 million Americans are living with hemophilia, von Willebrand disease (VWD), and other rare bleeding disorders (called rare factor deficiencies).
If you have a bleeding disorder, any cut or injury carries the risk of excessive bleeding. Because each type of bleeding disorder requires a very specific treatment, it’s vital for someone living with a bleeding disorder to always wear a medical ID.
Wearing a MedicAlert ID will communicate your bleeding disorder if you have an accident or medical emergency. Your ID will immediately alert emergency personnel to your condition. First responders are trained to look for a medical ID, and to contact MedicAlert for your complete emergency health profile. Armed with this knowledge, emergency personnel can quickly and confidently treat your specific bleeding disorder with the correct therapy. Wearing a MedicAlert ID can literally save your life.
