There is a wide range of diseases and syndromes that are characterised by haemorrhagic disease.
Show either:
- An increased tendency to bleeding - haemorrhagic diathesis.
- Frank haemorrhages as a clinical feature - purpura.
Altought this disease is sometimes obvious, it may also be discovered incidentally, for examply following surgery or trauma.

-===Classification of Haemorrhagic Diseases===
+[[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.
