'''Coagulopathy''' is a medical term for a defect in the body's mechanism for [[blood]] [[clotting]].
==Causes==
While there are several possible causes they generally result in excessive bleeding and a lack of clotting.
===Congenital===
[[Hemophilia]] is one type of [[congenital]] disease characterized by coagulopathy; these are examples of severe lack of [[blood clot]]ting.
===Acquired===
Acquired causes of coagulopathy include [[anticoagulation]] with [[warfarin]], [[liver failure]], and [[disseminated intravascular coagulation]]. Additionally, the [[hemotoxic|haemotoxic]] venom from certain species of [[snake]]s can cause this condition [[e.g.]] [[Bothrops]], [[rattlesnakes]] and other [[species]] of [[Viperidae|viper]].
