Symptoms of Coagulation Disorders in western medicine
General: In general, patients with anticoagulation disorders suffer from either increased bleeding or clotting. However, patients with disseminated intravascular coagulation may have symptoms of both bleeding and clotting.
Increased clotting: Symptoms depend on which blood vessels are blocked with clots.
If a blood vessel in an arm or leg is blocked, it may cause swelling and pain. The area may also become itchy and reddish brown in color. When this happens, the skin may be easily injured, often resulting in an ulcer.
Pieces of blood clots from the veins in the legs, abdomen, or pelvis can travel through the bloodstream to the lungs and block major arteries. If blood vessels in the lungs are blocked, the condition is called a pulmonary embolism. Symptoms may include shortness of breath, wheezing, chest pain, increased heartbeat, leg swelling, dizziness, or coughing up blood. Patients who develop any of these symptoms should seek immediate medical treatment because a pulmonary embolism may lead to death.
If blood vessels in the liver are blocked, symptoms may include yellowing of the skin and eyes (jaundice) and abdominal tenderness. Patients who develop any of these symptoms should seek immediate medical treatment. If blood vessels in the brain become blocked, the patient may suffer from a stroke. Symptoms may include sudden onset of numbness or weakness, difficulty speaking, confusion, difficulty seeing with one or both eyes, headache, dizziness, and imbalance. Patients who develop any of these symptoms should seek immediate medical treatment.
If arteries to the heart become clogged, the patient may have a heart attack. Symptoms may include chest pain or pressure, shortness of breath, nausea, weakness, as well as pain radiating to the arms, neck, or jaw, Patients who develop any of these symptoms should seek immediate medical treatment.
Increased bleeding: Patients with bleeding disorders, such as hemophilia, bleed for prolonged periods of time after injury. It may take hours for a small cut or nosebleed (epistaxis) to stop without treatment. Tiny red dots, called petechiae, may occur if there is bleeding under the skin. This condition is called purpura. Patients may bruise easily. The gums may bleed, and blood may appear in the stool or urine. Internal bleeding may cause the joints to swell and become painful.
