In females (who have two X chromosomes), a mutation would have to occur in both copies of the gene to cause the disorder. Because it is unlikely that females will have two altered copies of this gene, it is very rare for females to have hemophilia.
There is currently no way to compensate for the absence of liver function in the long term, although liver dialysis techniques can be used in the short term. Artificial livers are yet to be developed to promote long term replacement in the absence of the liver.
Additional tests that may be used to evaluate liver function include 2 1  : Gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT): This test measures the amount of the enzyme GGT in the blood. 2  Higher than normal levels may indicate liver or bile duct injury.iver function tests (also known as LFTs or LFs) include liver enzyme readings. A single blood sample may include liver function testing for the following 1 1  : Alanine transaminase (ALT): An enzyme that helps metabolize protein.
