How do we stop this ? •Fibrinolytic system
•Predominantly by action of plasmin
• Plasmin formed by action of tissue plasminogen activator and urokinase
• Lead to breakdown of fibrin into fibrin degradation products

Hemorrhage •Extravasation of blood due to vessel rupture
•Hemorrhagic diatheses •Capillary bleeding can occur under conditions of chronic congestion
•Rupture of a large artery or vein is almost always due to vascular injury
•Manifested in a variety of patterns (size, extent, and location of bleeding)
Hemorrhage •External or may be enclosed within a tissue
•Hematoma ‐‐ accumulation of blood within tissue •Petechiae ‐‐ minute 1‐ to 2‐mm hemorrhages into skin, mucous membranes, or serosal surfaces
• Locally increased intravascular pressure
• Low platelet counts (thrombocytopenia)
• Defective platelet function
Hemorrhage •Purpura : Slightly larger (≥3 mm) hemorrhages •Associated with many of the same disorders that cause petechiae
•Occur secondary to trauma, vascular inflammation, or increased vascular fragility Hemorrhage • Ecchymoses : Larger (>1 to 2 cm) subcutaneous hematomas (i.e., bruises) • Red‐blue color  bilirubin (blue‐green color) 
hemosiderin (gold‐brown color) • Hemothorax, hemopericardium, hemoperitoneum, or hemarthrosis
• Patients with extensive hemorrhage occasionally develop jaundice.
