Hereditary Hemorrhagic Telangiectasia (HHT) is a rare genetic disorder causing abnormal blood vessels, leading to frequent nosebleeds and internal bleeding.
Platelet Disorders
Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS)
Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) is a genetic disorder characterized by joint hypermobility, skin elasticity, and often fragile tissues. It can cause pain, fatigue, and other complications.
Embolus & Embolism
An embolus is a traveling blood clot that can block blood flow, causing serious complications like pulmonary embolism or stroke. Early detection and treatment are crucial to prevent these life-threatening risks.

Thrombosis: An Overview
Blood clots, called thrombosis, can form in deep veins and travel to the lungs (PE) causing serious complications. While often symptomless, watch for leg swelling, redness, and sudden shortness of breath. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial to prevent life-threatening risks.
Tissue Plasminogen Activator (tPA)
tPA is a powerful drug used to dissolve blood clots causing heart attacks, strokes, and pulmonary embolisms. While effective, it also carries risks, primarily bleeding.

Coagulation (Clotting) Disorders
Coagulation disorders disrupt blood clotting, causing abnormal bleeding or clotting. These can be inherited or acquired later in life due to various factors. Early diagnosis is crucial for proper management.
Platelet Function Disorders
Platelet function disorders disrupt blood clotting, causing excessive bleeding. Inherited or acquired, these conditions can range from mild to severe.
Thrombocytopenia
Thrombocytopenia, a condition with a low platelet count, can cause easy bruising and bleeding. While it often has no symptoms, severe cases can lead to internal bleeding. It can arise from various causes, including infections, medications, or autoimmune disorders. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial to prevent complications.
Vascular Bleeding Disorders
Vascular bleeding disorders come in two forms: inherited (passed down in families) and acquired (developed throughout life due to factors like vitamin deficiencies or medications). Both cause easy bruising & abnormal bleeding.
