Cirrhosis due to hepatitis C is a common reason for liver transplantation though the virus usually (80â90% of cases) recurs afterwards. Infection of the graft leads to 10â30% of people developing cirrhosis within five years.
Broken capillaries can occur anywhere on the body. They appear as red bruise spots on skin surface. Particularly they are noticeable on face and legs. Capillaries are tiny blood vessels under the skin surface. They break easily as they are delicate and fragile, especially when they are subjected to outer or inner pressure. Mere scrubbing your skin too hard or too much exposure to sun can cause capillary damage.
Black and blue marks are often associated with bruises. A bruise, or âcontusion,â appears on the skin due to trauma. Examples of trauma are a cut or a blow to the area. The injury causes tiny blood vessels called capillaries to burst. The blood gets trapped below the skinâs surface, which causes a bruise. Bruises can occur at any age. Some bruises appear with very little pain, and you might not notice them.
