Causes and symptoms of hemorrhagic syndrome

Cases of hemorrhagic syndrome are quite common.found in modern medical practice. Such diseases can be both congenital and acquired, but in any cases, subcutaneous hemorrhages and mucosal bleeding are accompanied. So what is the cause of this type of disease, and what methods of treatment does modern medicine use?

The main causes of hemorrhagic syndrome

In most cases, this diseaseassociated with a violation of the blood or diseases of the circulatory system. To date, the causes of hemorrhage can be divided into the following groups:

• Some blood diseases are associated with impaired platelet formation and bleeding. Thrombocytopathy, thrombocytopenia, and also Verlgof's disease can be attributed to this group.
• Quite often, the cause of hemorrhagic syndrome is a violation of blood clotting, which is observed with prothrombin deficiency and hemophilia of various types.
• Damage to the blood vessels (for example, the fragility of the walls) also leads to minor hemorrhages. Hemorrhagic syndrome occurs with telangiectasia and hemorrhagic vasculitis.
• On the other hand, uncontrolled intake of certain drugs - anticoagulants and antiplatelet agents (impede the process of platelet aggregation) can lead to the same result.
• There are also so-called psychogenic hemorrhages that are characteristic of Munchausen syndrome and some neurotic disorders.

What are the symptoms of hemorrhagic syndrome?

To date, it is customary to allocate 5 forms of hemorrhagic syndrome, each of which is accompanied by a unique set of symptoms:

• Hematomatous form of the syndrome occurs whenhemophilia. Such diseases are accompanied by painful hemorrhages in the joints and soft tissues, as well as a gradual disruption of the functioning of the skeleton and muscles.
• With petechial-spotted type of pathology, painful hemorrhages are observed under the upper layers of the skin, bruises occur even with the slightest pressure.
• In a mixed hematome-blues type, the symptoms of the two forms described above are combined.
• Vasculitis-purple form of the disease is accompanied by the appearance of hemorrhages in the form of erythema. Often the patient's condition is complicated by intestinal bleeding.
• In an angiomatous type, persistent local hemorrhages are observed.

There is also edematous-hemorrhagic syndrome, which is diagnosed in newborns. This is an extremely serious condition, accompanied by bleeding in the lungs.

Hemorrhagic syndrome: treatment

When it comes to congenital diseases(hemophilia), it is completely impossible to cure them. Therefore, patients need constant treatment and observation by a doctor. In some cases, hormonal drugs that are able to normalize the processes of blood formation are used. To stop the bleeding, special preparations are used, in particular, aminocaproic acid. With massive blood loss, blood plasma transfusions are necessary.
