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.
Causes of broken blood vessels are usually from minor trauma. There are two forms of ruptured blood vessels: fairly common purplish welt and a blood spot with the appearance of a red spreading of cells. Broken blood vessels usually repair themselves within 2 or 3 weeks.
