Guest guest Posted December 16, 2004 Report Share Posted December 16, 2004 I too have been having nose bleeds lately. Two weeks ago I had 3 in one day. It is a little embarrassing when you are out in the public. I had no idea it could be from the PSC. Thanks for the info.

Guest guest Posted December 16, 2004 Report Share Posted December 16, 2004 > Does any one have nosebleeds. Very common symptom of PSC resulting from prolonged prothrombin time (the time it takes for blood to clot). The liver makes the enzymes necessary for clotting and, when liver function is impaired, Pro Time increases. It can also increase due to malabsorption of vitamin K by the intestines, which many of us PSC folk have trouble with, too. I take Vitamin K supplements and eat lots of bananas.

Guest guest Posted December 16, 2004 Report Share Posted December 16, 2004 No nosebleeds, but I bruise very easily now. Just rubbing the side of my nose roughly will bruise it. My brother had nosebleed for years until he had a polyp cauterized. See http://www.uihealthcare.com/topics/earnosethroat/earn4455.html for some common causes.

To-day I was sitting on the edge of the bed putting lotion on my face - looked up and my face was all red. My nose was bleeding heavily. Lasted about 5 minutes. I know, besided having PSC there other causes of things happening but was wondering if this had happened to anyone. Leona Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 16, 2004 Report Share Posted December 16, 2004 Leona, while my son was being diagnosed in '96, he was having frequent nose bleeds, and his gastro doc attributed them to PSC.
