Coagulation Disorders

Coagulation disorders are medical conditions that affect the blood's ability to clot properly. This can lead to excessive bleeding or inappropriate clot formation, which can cause blockages in blood vessels. Factors that contribute to these disorders include genetic conditions (like hemophilia), liver disease, certain medications, or deficiencies in clotting factors, which are proteins that help blood clot. Individuals with coagulation disorders may experience unusual bruising, prolonged bleeding from cuts, or spontaneous bleeding. Proper diagnosis and management are crucial to prevent serious complications and maintain overall health.
