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.
A bruise occurs when blood vessels are broken below the skin. The pool of blood shows the discolored area. When there is no damage to the vessels, there should not be a bruise. The degree of bruising can also be increased by taking anticlotting agents. Assuming a vessel is broken, the rapid clotting will decrease the pooled blood and size of bruise. If you are on a anticlotting agent, a small damage could create a huge bruise due to increased blood pooling.
