hemoptysis and vitamin k

[TonyaH]

Andrew has had some bleeding the last couple of days and we are waiting to find out if it may be a vitamin k deficiency. He has been on a supplement while on his iv abx, in addition to his normal CF vitamins. My question is, if this is vitamin K related, how long does it usually take to get everything regulated and not have the worry of bleeding again? Is it a pretty quick fix once the dose of vitamin K is correct?

For me, Vitamin K really didn't help. I found out that Pulmozyme was causing my bleeding. It has stopped since I cut back my dosage to once every three days.

I am not Vitamin K deficient, but I took take extra on a regular basis & if I have an actual bleed I take a few to help clot me up at that time.


This by no means stops another bleed from happening since there are many factors that can cause a bleed.

The typical vitamin K you get in a vitamin/health food shop is too low to have much of an impact on our bleeds, regardless if you are deficient or not. I have been taking a special high doseage (one capsule)for a few months now. I believe it is 10mg a day, which is something like 10,000+% RDA. I did my research on it, and that is still a safe level. We absorb everything we take at a much lower degree than normal people anyway.

Since I have been taking the much higher dose of vitamin K, and my other supps, I havent had a bleed in nearly two months now, and before I was having them fairly often.

The reason I started a much higher dose was simple. The docs here, to stop a bleed before they go in and do an embolization, will inject you with a high dose of vitamin K and see if that stops it. I found out the level that my friend had, and it was similar to the level in the caps I am taking now (roughly 12,500% rda).

The regular stuff doseage wise in the stores is measured in micrograms. This stuff is measured in milligrams. Micrograms for the most part are too small to have any real impact on stopping bleeds, or preventing them.
