Why do excessive bruising and prolonged clotting times happen when alcohol damages hepatocytes?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Made in the liver: The majority of your clotting factors are proteins that are made in the liver. If you damage your liver it will not be able to produce the clotting factors and your bleeding time get prolonged and you bruise easily.
