Overview

Coagulopathy is a medical term for a defect in the body's mechanism for blood clotting. While there are several possible causes they generally result in excessive bleeding and a lack of clotting.

Hemophilia is one type of congenital disease characterized by coagulopathy; these are examples of severe lack of blood clotting.

Causes

Acquired causes of coagulopathy include anticoagulation with warfarin, liver failure, and disseminated intravascular coagulation. Additionally, the haemotoxic venom from certain species of snakes can cause this condition e.g. Bothrops, rattlesnakes and other species of viper.

Drugs:caspofungin acetate
