Abstract
The leakage of blood from the blood vessels is referred to as haemorrhage. Its causes include: (1.) increased permeability of the vascular walls. (2.) pathological blood vessel condition, and (3.) injury to a blood vessel. • Generally, a haemorrhage may become considerably more severe in the presence of coagulopathy, i.e. clotting disorder. It is also possible for a coagulation defect to arise as a separate disorder even without existing tissue damage.
