Abstract

Vitamin K deficiency is associated with malnutrition in some complications, such as hyperemesis gravidarum, active gastrointestinal diseases, and psychological disorders. Maternal vitamin K deficiency can cause fetal bleeding, in particular, fetal intracranial hemorrhage. Although fetal hemorrhage is uncommon, severe damage to the fetus may be inevitable. We describe a pregnant woman with vitamin K deficiency possibly due to hyperemesis gravidarum. The patient was treated for the deficiency, and no fetal or neonatal hemorrhagic diseases were manifested.

Blood Clotting Disorders

Thrombophilia includes conditions with increased tendency for excessive blood clotting. Blood clotting occurs when the body has insufficient amounts of specialized proteins that make blood clot and stop bleeding. Here is the latest research on blood clotting disorders.
