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.
Injury to the skin may also break small blood vessels under the skin and cause more swelling and bruising than you would expect. Rapid swelling or bruising that begins immediately after a skin injury often means there is a large amount of bleeding or that damage to deeper tissues is present. You may need to have a skin injury checked by your doctor if a lot of swelling or bruising occurred within 30 minutes of the injury. Puncture wounds caused by the injection of a substance under high pressure into the skin need immediate medical treatment.
