[[Haemorrhagic Disease Classification]]

−

* Haemorrhagic diseases may be due to

−

*# '''Increased vessel fragility'''.

−

*#* Causes non-thrombocytopenic purpura.

−

*# '''Inadequate haemostatic response'''.

−

*#* This may be caused by:

−

*#** Platelet dysfunction or deficiency.

−

*#*** Causes primary or secondary thrombocytopenic purpura.

−

*#** Deficiencies or derangements of clotting factors.

−

* Syndromes caused by vascular fragility and platelet dysfunction tend to be purpuric and aquired.

−

* Sydromes caused by clotting factor defects tend to cause more severe bleeding and are usually congenital.
