Vitamin K deficiency is caused by insufficient dietary intake, inadequate absorption, and decreased storage of the vitamin due to liver disease. Still, it may also be caused by decreased production of vitamin K in the intestines. Low vitamin K levels can lead to many health problems like low bone mass density, increased fractures, increased risk of uncontrolled bleeding, and vitamin K deficiency bleeding (a bleeding problem that occurs in newborns during the first few days of life). Symptoms of vitamin K deficiency include easy bruising, oozing from the nose or gums, excessive bleeding from wounds, punctures, and injection or surgical sites, heavy menstrual periods, and blood in the urine and/or stool.
