Blood tests levels of factor VIII and factor IX your child will appear. The doctor can tell you if hemophilia is mild, moderate or severe depending on the levels of these clotting factors. That this distribution is the norm:
Light - your child is 5% to 30% of seventh and ninth level of the average worker.
Moderate - your child has a 1% to 5% of the normal level.
Severe - your child is under 1% of the normal level.
The clotting factor level gives you a basic idea of the severity of symptoms can be your child - with less severe symptoms that occur in people who have higher levels of clotting factors.

You may be referred to a specialist in medical genetics or bleeding disorders, which can help you determine if you are a carrier of the hemophilia disease. If you are pregnant, it is possible to determine during pregnancy if the fetus has hemophilia.
