undercoagulation
Undercoagulation refers to a state where the blood's clotting process is insufficient, leading to an increased risk of bleeding. This can occur due to a variety of factors affecting the complex cascade of events that normally results in the formation of a stable blood clot. When undercoagulation is present, the body's ability to stop bleeding after an injury, whether internal or external, is compromised.
Several mechanisms can lead to undercoagulation. These include deficiencies in clotting factors, which are proteins essential
The consequences of undercoagulation range from minor bruising and prolonged bleeding from minor cuts to severe,
