What is a clotting disease?

A clotting disease, also known as a coagulopathy, is a medical condition characterized by abnormal blood clotting, which can lead to excessive bleeding or inappropriate clot formation. These disorders can be inherited, such as hemophilia, or acquired due to factors like liver disease, vitamin K deficiency, or certain medications. Patients may experience symptoms like easy bruising, prolonged bleeding from cuts, or spontaneous bleeding. Treatment often involves managing symptoms and addressing the underlying cause of the disorder.
