Inherited deficiency of clotting in which bleeding occurs after minor trauma?
This condition is called hemophilia.
What deficiency can cause the condition known as thrombocytopenia?
A severe deficiency in vitamin B12 (folic acid) can lower the platelet count in the blood, causing slower clotting and possible internal bleeding.
What is the medical term meaning deficiency of clotting cells?
Thrombocytopenia is the medical term that refers to a deficiency of clotting cells, specifically platelets, in the blood. It can lead to abnormal bleeding and bruising due to the decreased ability of the blood to clot properly.
What is the definition of thrombocytopenia?
deficiency of platelets in the blood. This causes bleeding into the tissues, bruising, and slow blood clotting after injury.
What happens to someone if they have a prothrombin deficiency?
Prothrombin deficiency causes prolonged bleeding following even minor injury or trauma. In sufferers the blood clotting process is slowed, and in severe cases spontaneous bleeding can occur.
Which vitamin deficiency causes bleeding gums?
Deficiency of Vitamin C (scurvy) will lead to gum changes and also causes problems with the blood vessels, hence causing bleeding in the gums. Also a deficiency in Vitamin K may also cause bleeding gums do to the lack of clotting factors which will lead to unusual or excessive bleeding.
What are clinical condition in which clotting time is prolonged?
1. Liver failure 2. Vitamin K deficiency
What are the three types of haemophilias?
Haemophilia A - an inhibition of clotting caused by a deficiency in a protein called Clotting Factor VIII Haemophilia B - an inhibition of clotting caused by a deficiency in a protein called Clotting Factor IX Haemophilia C - an inhibition of clotting caused by a deficiency in a protein called Clotting Factor XI -similar to- vonWillebrand's Disorder - an inhibition of clotting caused by a deficiency in a protein called the vonWillebrand's Factor
Is vitamin K deficiency a cause of bleeding disorders?
Vitamin K is necessary for the production of Clotting Factors II, VII, IX and X. So a vitamin K deficiency could lead to a bleeding disorder. Additionally vitamin K is necessary for the production of the anticoagulant protein C and protein S. Inhibition of Vitamin K function is also associated with clotting disorders though for this to occur there has to be a deficiency in either proteins C or S.
Diagnose a clotting defiency?
Medical practitioners diagnose clotting deficiency by conducting blood clotting tests.
Is hemophilia related to blood platelets?
No. There are several types of bleeding disorders. Hemophilia is a deficiency in clotting factor proteins VIII (Hemophilia A), IX (Hemophilia B), or XI (Hemophilia C). There are several other clotting factor proteins linked to coagulation, as well as the vonWillebrands protein, and platelet disorders. Hemophilia is simply the most widely recognized (by the general public) bleeding disorder. It is important to know that many other bleeding disorders exist, such as the platelet deficiency you are asking about.
Deficiency of clothing cells?
Thrombocytopenia is the medical term meaning a deficiency of clotting cells. -penia is the combining form meaning deficiency.
