Other transient neonatal disorders of coagulation - what does this mean
Other transient neonatal disorders of coagulation are caused by an immature or deficient coagulation system in newborns, which can lead to an increased risk of bleeding. this is usually due to an inherited disorder, a deficiency of coagulation factors, or an acquired factor such as maternal medication or infection.
What happens during the disease - other transient neonatal disorders of coagulation
Other transient neonatal disorders of coagulation are a group of inherited and acquired disorders that can cause bleeding in newborns. these disorders are caused by a variety of factors, including deficiencies in clotting factors, platelet dysfunction, and abnormal fibrinogen levels. in some cases, the cause of the disorder is unknown. these disorders can cause bleeding from the umbilical cord, skin, gums, and other sites. treatment usually involves replacement of the deficient clotting factor or platelet transfusions, and may also involve treating any underlying conditions that may have caused the disorder.
