What Causes Bleeding From Femoral After Giving Plasma And Cryo For Blood Disorders?

My mom has a blood disorder and the doctors here can not figure out what is causing it. She had eye surgery in november and hemmoraged. Doctor there said it was dic caused by two anuerisms he gave her plasma and cryo. Her levels went up and he sent us home . Her fibrenogen went up over three months time, with no blood products given, so we came last tuesday to get aaa repair. Went home ok but found her bleeding from femoral the next day. Came back to this hospital and different doctors say she has no clots and she presents anemic which they say is not classic symptoms of dic. They find no cancer, no ttp or hus, they gave her plasma and cryo and her numbers went up again. She was to have the thoracic anuerism fixed in four weeks but they need to get the blood disorder fixed before they will do it. The anuerism is around 11cm so time is of the essense. She had shingles in nov and was given valtrex full dose, she takes lipitor,lisiniprill and labetalol and diuretic. She hadnt gone to doctor most of her life so i dont know anything about blood problems in herr past but she said she had bad periods and hemmoraghed after the birth of my brother if anyone has any idea what is making her clotting factors deplete with no internal bleeding present plase let me know. Didnt know i had to pay. Expenses here are high thanks anyway

Hi,
It appears, she has some primary haemostasis disorder, because she has this complains since long. Most common of these are von Willebrand disease, clotting factor deficiencies like haemophilia, and some auto-immune diseases.
I would recommend you to meet a haematologist to get evaluated.

Regards
