All women completed Pictorial Blood assessment Chart (PBAC) for assessment of menstrual blood loss and a quality of life questionnaire during menstruation. Similar questionnaire and PBAC was completed by an age matched healthy control group of 23 women. Median age of study group was 35 yrs and of control group 34 yrs. Median FVII level of the study group was 31.5 IU/dL Two women had severe FVII deficiency (FVII level < 10 IU/dL) and 12 women had mild-moderate FVII deficiency. 57% women (8/14) from study group had menorrhagia (PBAC score > 100) compared with 17% (4/23) women from the control group. Six women (43%) from the study group were diagnosed with anaemia due to heavy periods, compared to two (9%) in the control group.

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.

Anemia

Anemia develops when your blood lacks enough healthy red blood cells. Anemia of inflammation (AI, also called anemia of chronic disease) is a common, typically normocytic, normochromic anemia that is caused by an underlying inflammatory disease. Here is the latest research on anemia.
