Dr. Zhang Heyang
In general, hemophilia and leukemia are completely different diseases. The difference lies in the fact that leukemia results from abnormal blood cell production in the bone marrow, whereas hemophilia is caused by a congenital or acquired deficiency of clotting factors. Clinically, leukemia can be classified as acute or chronic, and further categorized as lymphocytic or myeloid; hemophilia can be classified as congenital or acquired. Both conditions require definitive diagnosis by a specialist physician.
