Detailed explanation-1: -Vitamin K deficiency bleeding or VKDB, occurs when babies cannot stop bleeding because their blood does not have enough Vitamin K to form a clot. The bleeding can occur anywhere on the inside or outside of the body. When the bleeding occurs inside the body, it can be difficult to notice.

Detailed explanation-2: -Both vitamin K1 and vitamin K2 produce proteins that help the blood clot. Blood clotting or coagulation prevents excessive bleeding internally and externally. If a person has a vitamin K deficiency, that means the person’s body cannot produce enough of these proteins, increasing the risk of excessive bleeding.

Detailed explanation-3: -Prothrombin deficiency is a disorder caused by a lack of a protein in the blood called prothrombin. It leads to problems with blood clotting (coagulation). Prothrombin is also known as factor II (factor two). Blood clotting normally occurs when there is damage to a blood vessel.

Detailed explanation-4: -Vitamin K helps to make various proteins that are needed for blood clotting and the building of bones. Prothrombin is a vitamin K-dependent protein directly involved with blood clotting.
