Answer 1

Coughing up blood is something that should always be worked up by a doctor. If there is a lot of blood it could be a medical emergency. Is the blood in sputum from lungs or in vomit from stomach? Hepatitis C is a virus that can damage the liver and problems can show up years later. In addition to removing toxins from the blood the liver also produces proteins that help your blood to clot. Bleeding can be a sign that your liver is not producing enough of these coagulation proteins.
