hi iam dr usman
well thanks for your query.
as you are on dialysis for the last 7 years your blood chemistry is not normal. various harmful motibiltes that are secreted by the body are regularly washed by kidneys and in your case the dialysis. bruising can be due to multiple causes most likely due to blood thinners. i will advise you take a coagulation test like pt pttk and liver functiin tests. that will really tell the reason for your bruising. hopefully that will turn out to be normal and you dont have to worry for that if it doesnt happen frequently. thanks
