The liver produces the factors that initiate clotting of the blood ( actually,it produces all the plasma proteins except gamma globulins). If the liver is compromised, it will not be able to produce these factors. Liver cancer or hepatitis are two conditions that will impair/ compromise the liver andits functions. Therefore, even a simple injury may be extremely dangerous for an individual who may have either one of these conditions, since the bleeding will not be stopping as easily as it should. Remember, we bleed all the time for a variety of reasons: Scrapes, cuts, hemorrhages, and even when you brush your teeth :)

Does plasma prevent the loss of blood by causing clotting?
Plasma is the liquid component of blood. It does not cause the clotting. The part of blood that causes clotting are the platelets.
Blood clotting is ultimately due to the formation of the protein known as?
protein does not cause blood clotting but the platelets in the blood does.
What is blood clotting made possible by?
Platelets or blood clotting proteins cause blood to clot.
What causes longer clotting time?
The main cause of a longer clotting time is the deficiency of the clotting factor in the blood. This is as a result of a damaged platelet in the blood cells.
A protein in blood plasma that is necessary for the clotting of blood?
The protein fibrin is found in the blood and it has a necessary role in blood clotting.Thrombin, another protein, is found in blood. It is an enzyme that speeds up the rate of blood clotting. Thrombin and fibrin work hand in hand during the process of blood clotting.
What are three phases of blood clotting that happen after an injury to a blood vessel?
Injury cause damaged tissue cells to produce prothrombin activator. This, along with clotting factor produced by the sticky platelets at the damaged site, cause prothrombin + calcium to make thrombin. All the while, fibrinogen is stimulated to make fibrin. The fibrin ensnares RBCs to form the clot with the platelets.All factors have to be there for the clotting to occur. Lack of any of them causes bleeding disorders.
What does low blood platelets mean?
Thrombocytopenia, the name for low blood platelets, results in your blood not clotting, or not clotting as well as it should. It has several causes, and a person whose blood is not clotting as it should needs to see a doctor so the cause can be determined.
Does ink poisoning cause pain at all?
No it does not you might feel blood clotting and such but no pain...
What are the blood clotting factors plasma proteins and cells fragment called?
Injury causes damaged tissue cells to produce prothrombin activator. This, along with a clotting factor produced by the sticky platelets (cell fragments) at the damaged site, cause prothrombin + calcium to make thrombin (blood protein). All the while fibrinogen is stimulated to make fibrin (blood protein). The fibrin ensnares RBCs to form the clot with the platelets.All factors have to be there for the clotting to occur. Lack of any of them causes bleeding disorders.
Problems with which part of the bone would lead to blood disorders?
Bone Marrow - Apex
How can blood clotting be bad?
Uncontrolled blood clotting, where the blood clots but there is no wound to seal, can lead to death. If the blood clots are in the blood stream they can break off and cause obstructions in other organs or tissues. If the blood is extravasated, the clot can interfere with normal organ and tissue function. Systemic blood clotting, called disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC), is a medical emergency that can lead to death.
What is a small purple dot under the skin?
Things that cam cause small purple dot under the skin are bleeding under the skin, a small bruise, and the condition called purpura. The causes of purpura are blood clotting disorders, scurvy, and amyloidosis.
