Hemorrhage in the brain of premature infants is caused by what reasons or what are the several situations?

Patient's question:

My baby is a premature child, and I have been very concerned about the child's condition from the beginning. Recently, the child has experienced a series of situations, and I am also very worried, afraid that the child will become worse. Please ask what are the reasons for intracranial hemorrhage in premature infants or how many situations there are.

Doctor's answer:

Some infants, especially newborns, can also experience brain hemorrhage, primarily due to a lack of vitamin K. To prevent vitamin K deficiency in infants, it should first start with the mother. When using medication, it is essential to use it under the guidance of a doctor and never self-prescribe or purchase medication.
Your condition may be due to liver function damage. The essence of liver dysfunction is the degeneration and necrosis of liver cells, which inevitably leads to the leakage of enzymes from liver cells into the bloodstream, a decline in the ability of liver cells to synthesize proteins and gluconeogenesis, and the retention of bilirubin and ammonia in the blood, which require liver processing.
It is recommended to conduct a detailed examination of liver function and the hepatitis B surface antigen, antibody, core antibody, and e-antigen (the "four and a half" tests).
