Does Alcoholism Or Damaged Liver Causes Bruising?
my daughter came home from her dads and said her dad had a large bruise from the arch of his foot up his leg to his knee and did not injure it. he is an alcoholic and im wondering if this bruising could be caused from his alcoholism i know that he has liver damage from seeing results of blood work way back to the year 2000 and has continued to drink since then so im sure the blood work would show even worse results now

Hi,
The chronic liver disease can cause altered prothrombin time. So, it can cause bruise. But apart from chronic liver disease, there are several other common causes of bruise/purpura. So I recommend you to consult your Dermatologist to rule out other causes of purpura/bruise.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
