People with liver disease may bleed more frequently and excessively. This is because the liver cannot produce enough clotting factors to control bleeding promptly. As a consequence, the smallest lesion may bleed profusely, and bleeding noses or gums are more common and frequent. In rare cases, even internal bleeding in regions like the gastrointestinal tract may occur. Bleeding excessively is most common in advanced liver failure.
