D68.32: Haemorrhagic disorder due to other anticoagulant antibodies

Your blood is not clotting adequately.

For blood to be able to clot, many proteins have to work together in the blood. Many of these proteins are produced in the liver with the involvement of vitamin K. There are antibodies in your blood that are targeted against these proteins for blood clotting. As a result, these proteins can no longer work properly.

If the proteins are not working properly or if there are too few of them in the blood, the blood does not clot adequately. In that case, you may bleed more easily. As a result, you bruise much more easily than usual, among other things. These bruises will show up as black and blue marks under the skin. Bleeding inside the body is also possible.

In your case, this condition has developed over the course of your life.
