Chronic venous insufficiency results in persistently elevated venous hydrostatic pressure, which can promote venous microangiopathy, a condition where the microvasculature, particularly capillaries, becomes damaged and fragile. This fragility increases the likelihood of capillary rupture under minimal trauma, leading to extravasation of red blood cells into the surrounding tissues and subsequent bruising. #brusing #bleeding #mocrobasculature #medicalstudent #nurse #nursepractitioner #physicianas
