Vitamin K is a generic name for a few materials needed for normal blood clotting. Its basic form is vitamin K1 (filokuinon), contained in plants, especially green leafy vegetables. Bacteria in the lower small intestine and bacteria in the colon produce vitamin K2 (menakuinon), which can be absorbed in limited amounts.

Hemorrhagic disease in newborns is characterized by tendency to bleed, is the basic form of vitamin K. This happens because:

- The placenta does not deliver fat and vitamin K well

- The function of the liver of the newborn is still not ripe to produce blood clotting factors are sufficient (clotting factors are proteins that facilitate blood clotting and require vitamin K)

- The intestines do not have the bacteria that produce vitamin K during the first days of infant

- Breast milk contains little vitamin K.

An injection of vitamin K should be given to the newborn baby to protect from this disease.

Infants who received breast milk, that has not received an injection of vitamin K at birth, are particularly vulnerable to deficiency of vitamin K.

Because vitamin K are fat soluble, diseases associated with the absorption of fat, can cause vitamin K deficiency in children and adults:

- Disease seliak

- Fibrostik cystic.

Mineral oil consumed in excessive amounts can also prevent the absorption of vitamin K. Vitamin K deficiency also occurs in people who take anticoagulant medication to prevent blood clots.

The main symptoms are bleeding (into the skin, the nose, from a wound or in the stomach), which is accompanied by vomiting.
