Age‐related factors that predispose to bleeding Tissue modifications

Оглавление

Any bleeding, even if it seems spontaneous, has an anatomical explanation: sometimes as the result of atrophy that occurs with age (which favours skin hematomas), but other times due to injuries (including malignant) in the bladder or bowel that appear earlier than in patients not receiving anticoagulation therapy. All patients who bleed should be investigated for underlying pathology, even if the bleeding episode occurred when the INR was excessive. Clinicians should also consider the possibility of occult bleeding in any patient with unexplained symptoms or signs while receiving anticoagulation.
