Bleeding due to abnormal Blood Vessel

Question 1

Autoerythrocyte sensitization (Gardner-Diamond syndrome; painful bruising syndrome)

Answer 1

causes painful bruises, usually on the arms or legs.

Question 2

Amyloidosis (Protein Disorders Causing Blood Vessel Disorders)

Answer 2

causes the protein amyloid to be deposited within blood vessels in the skin and subcutaneous tissues, which may increase the fragility of the blood vessels, causing purpura.

Question 3

Cryoglobulinemia (Protein Disorders Causing Blood Vessel Disorders)

Answer 3

occurs when abnormal immunoglobulin proteins in the blood clump together when blood cools (for example, when it flows through the arms and legs). These abnormal proteins are called cryoglobulins. When cryoglobulins clump together in blood vessels, the vessels may leak, leading to bruises and reddish sores on the skin.

Question 4

Hypergammaglobulinemic purpura (Protein Disorders Causing Blood Vessel Disorders)

Answer 4

blood vessels are damaged by inflammation related to high levels of immunoglobulins in the blood.Doctors usually do blood tests. Often tests show that one type of immunoglobulin (IgG) is increased.

Question 5

Hyperviscosity syndrome (Protein Disorders Causing Blood Vessel Disorders)

Answer 5

occurs when people have too large a quantity of certain blood proteins (immunoglobulins). The excess immunoglobulins cause the blood to thicken and move slowly through the blood vessels. Hyperviscosity syndrome limits blood flow to the skin, fingers, toes, nose, and brain. The blood vessels become overfilled with blood and may leak, causing discoloration of the skin. Doctors may do blood tests, including one to measure the thickness of the blood.

Question 6

Hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (Rendu-Osler-Weber syndrome)

Answer 6

is a hereditary disorder in which blood vessels are malformed, making them fragile and prone to bleeding.

Question 7

Purpura Simplex (Easy Brusing)

Answer 7

is increased bruising that is due to fragile blood vessels.Purpura simplex is extremely common. The cause is not known.This condition is not serious, and no treatment is needed.
