D65-D69: Coagulation defects, purpura and other haemorrhagic conditions
D68: Other coagulation defects
The group of conditions under Other Coagulation Defects generally involve problems related to the clotting of blood. These issues prevent the blood from clotting as it normally should, thus making it easier for bleeding to occur after an injury or spontaneous bleeding into our joints, muscles, or other parts of our bodies. The cause of these conditions can be inherited (passed down through families) or can develop as a result of other medical conditions or treatments. Certain factors such as vitamin K deficiency, liver disease, or usage of certain medications can also contribute to coagulation defects. Symptoms can vary greatly ranging from excessive bruising, prolonged nosebleeds, blood in urine or stools, to more severe manifestations such as frequent or heavy periods in women or unexplained low blood counts. The disease progression can vary depending on the specific defect and its severity. Addressing these disorders usually involves managing the underlying condition contributing to the coagulation defect, or in certain cases, receiving treatments to promote normal blood clotting.
