Therapist Alexei Khukhrev called the unreasonable appearance of a large bruise a potentially dangerous symptom.
Doctor Khukhrev told what disorders can be hidden behind the bruises that appear on the body. One of the problems explaining bruises that suddenly become noticeable without any connection with bruises is beriberi, specifically a lack of vitamin K.
In addition, bruises that appear without injury can indicate pathologies in the hematopoietic system.
“If suddenly, for no apparent reason, a large bruise appears, this is a very serious sign that a specialist needs to deal with a person. These can be problems with platelets, when there are few of them, or a deficiency of some other blood clotting factors, ”the specialist noted in an interview with Moscow 24.
Also, bruises show a violation of the integrity of arteries and blood vessels, their inflammation, leading to impaired blood supply to tissues and organs. This condition is known as vasculitis. Khukhrev suggested that with vasculitis, bruises often occur on the legs.

“A lot of blood clotting factors are produced by the liver. If a person has liver failure, this organ starts to work poorly, and then bruises just appear, ”the doctor informed.
Earlier, the MedikForum.ru portal wrote about what factors lead to a thickening of the cut and the rapid appearance of blood clots in a person.
