Q: if i have <0.5g of fibrinogen per l of blood, am i more likely to bleed to death from a 1cm deep cut? could i bleed to death from a long shallow cut?

How do you FEEL?: If this is well below reference range, but you have not manifested any obvious bleeding tendency by age 16, it's time to get with the lab and figure what's going on with the assay. You may have a variant that's not measured by the test, or it may have been consumed on the way to the lab. You're not going to bleed out from trivial trauma. I suggest repeating using a different assay.

Q: how long hiv blood survive outside the body on surfaces ? some say instant death hiv won't survive once hits air others say 1week once blood has dried some knowledge would really help thank you for help

Doesn't matter: It is generally believed that the virus dies, or cannot be transmitted, once blood dries. However, this really doesn't matter. Nobody ever is infected by contacting blood in the environment. If you see wet blood, avoid touching it. Otherwise this isn't something to be worried about. Have only safe sex and don't share drug injection equipment and you'll never be at risk for HIV.

Q: would it be a painful death if i intook 2-5 times more alcohol into my body than the limit ?the legal limit being 80mg on 100ml of blood. not anything personal,just wanted to know,so please be as detailed as possible,thank you very much for the help!

Etoh &amp; death: If you drink a sufficiently large amount of alcohol you will eventually become unconscious and "blank out". Of course, before you actually black out you may have engaged in some outrageous foolish activity which could lead to your demise. Alcohol is not a good anesthetic but it does screw up your thinking and memory.

Q: how frequently do blood clots cause death?

Blood clots.: Blood clotting is a normal protective mechanism when there is bleeding. Abnormal blood clots cause damage depending onthe site and therefore the mortality varies. Blood clot in the leg veins may lead to pulmonary embolism and death. Blood clot in the brain atery causes stroke.

Q: how can antherosclerosis and a blood clot result in death.

Well: Different ways. In atherosclerosis a piece of the hard wall of an artery can break off and block a prominent place in the brain causing a massive stroke resulting in death. A blood clot usually travels through the venous system through the heart landing in the lungs causing a pulmonary embolus or infarct (resulting in cell death). If the damage to the lung is massive enough you can die.

Q: can a jehovahs witness have a blood transfusion if its a matter of life and death?

Depends: Most jehovah's witnesses will not accept blood even in a life threatening situation. Others will accept some blood products. Hemoglobin counts can be increased before surgery by medicines, use blood-sparing surgical techniques and donation of own blood (autologous) before surgery may be options. Bottom line: legally, competent adults can refuse transfusions even if it causes death.

Q: is high blood viscosity (high hb and etc.) subject to blood clotting and death?

Polycythemia vera: yes, pcv is associated with increased risk of clots and possible death.

Question 1

how low does blood pressure have to go before you have irreversible death and how long?

Accepted Answer

There is no such set number as everyones body responds differently.: Hello,

There is no such set number as everyones body responds differently.  The general thought is that consistent systolic bp(top number) &gt;170-80 and diastolic bp(bottom number) &gt;90 increases your cardiovascular risks.  Goal bps depend on a number of things such as age, if diabetic, other co-morbid conditions.

Question 2

can high blood density (high hematocite and hemoglobin and ..) cause death for me while i have mvp?

Accepted Answer

Hyperviscosity: If your blood is too thick and the hemoglobin and hematocrit are severely elevated this can result in end organ damage. This is known as hyperviscosity syndrome and can occur regardless of MVP's presence

Question 3

are correlations of blood pressure and causes of death well documented and if so where are the reports?

Accepted Answer

High blood pressure: High blood pressure is associated with the development of a number of cardiovascular and kidney diseases, including stroke, heart attack, heart failure, and kidney failure.  See https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24352797
