Abstract


Vitamin K deficiency, a frequently overlooked condition, influences health across various physiological domains in a significant manner. Being a group of fat-soluble compounds, vitamin K plays an important role in essential processes namely blood clotting, bone metabolism as well as cardiovascular health. The absence of vitamin K in the human body can lead to spectrum of complications such as bleeding disorders, impaired bone development, and potential cardiovascular risks. Understanding the intricate interplay between vitamin K and these fundamental physiological functions is critical for especially healthcare professionals. Vitamin K deficiency in newborns contributes a distinct and critical concern within the realm of pediatric health care. Newborns with limited vitamin K reserves who do not receive timely intervention are prone to getting potentially life-threatening bleeding disorders, termed as Vitamin K deficiency bleeding (VKDB). One uncommon congenital bleeding condition that affects newborns is hereditary combined deficit of vitamin K-dependent clotting factor (VKCFD). This exercise describes vitamin K deficiency's origin, clinical signs, diagnostic techniques, and practical management tactics. This activity also highlights the importance of an interprofessional healthcare team especially in delivering comprehensive patient care.
