There are many Kinds of Bleeding Disorders Coagulation/clotting disorders are a group of conditions which are characterized by an inability to form normal blood clots after the body has experienced damage to a blood vessel. This can be life threatening. Click here. When someone has a clotting/bleeding disorder, they do not bleed faster than other people. Bleeding is simply more prolonged because blood clots, which normally form to stop bleeding, are either poorly formed, or not formed at all. Bleeding episodes can be triggered by surgery, dental work, childbirth, menstruation, or trauma. In severe cases, patients may experience excessive bleeding from minor injuries such as bumps, bruises, scrapes, and or small cuts. Micro-Injuries and Bleeding Episodes Exaggerated bleeding episodes can also be caused by micro-injuries such as broken capillaries or tiny tears within a joint. Depending on the severity and specific bleeding disorder, people with coagulation disorders may also experience spontaneous bleeding events with no known cause. Bleeding can occur externally, such as in response to a cut. It can also happen internally, including bleeding into soft tissues, inside the skull, into the spine, or into joint spaces such as the ankle, elbow, or knee. This can cause complications including joint damage and deformity, and others. Click here.
Clotting Disorders: Inherited or Acquired Coagulation disorders can be acquired or inherited. Some are caused by a vitamin K deficiency, certain medications, anemia, HIV/AIDS, defects or deficiencies in clotting factors or platelets, leukemia, cirrhosis of the liver, and other conditions. Others are caused by inherited gene mutations which affects one of the 13 clotting factors that control the clotting cascade. What Happens When Someone Bleeds? To survive, every cell in the human body needs constant access to oxygen. Cells also need a myriad of amino acids, enzymes, hormones, and ongoing cellular waste removal. A mind boggling meshwork of blood vessels carries this life-giving process out on a moment to moment basis each day of your life.
Blood Components Blood contains many different kinds of cells including red blood cells, plasma (a yellowish fluid that holds blood cells in suspension as it circulates through blood vessels), white blood cells, platelets, and clotting factors to help nourish and support cellular functions throughout the body. The Clotting Cascade is Complex In a healthy body without a clotting disorder, a series of rapid countermeasures (called a clotting or coagulation cascade) are activated when a blood vessel has been damaged. The process of changing blood from its liquid state into a solid at the site of the injury is incredibly complex and interdependent. If it is interrupted at one point, it does not skip over that step. Instead the entire process stops wherever the issue occurred. Continue to Read More Click Here
