  • Mechanical damage to a blood vessel:If the body inflicted a blow, plug or cut, it can lead to a bristning of blood vessels.

  • Inborn haemophilia:In the case of mutations (errors) koagulationsfaktorerne as evidenced by haemophilia stop størkningen because of the lack of coagulation factors important to the process. This also means that people suffering from haemophilia have a greater tendency to bleeding.

  • By alack of platelets ( thrombocytopenia )there is not enough platelets in the blood to stop a hemorrhage. People suffering from thrombocytopenia, has increased bleeding tendency.

  • Aincreased activity of the system breaking down fibrin(trådagtige material over the platelets) provide major bleeding tendency.
