Private answer
  • these patients do not clot well due to insufficient level of platelets in the blood to induce clotting process. also can be due to absence of clotting factors in the blood or insufficient factors of clotting
    Explanation:
    thrombocystopaenia is the lack of platelets in blood hence preventing clotting because platelets produce tissue factor which induces blood clotting process hence preventing excessive clotting process.
    apart from lack of platelets, patients who do not clot well can be due to hemophilia or people with von willebrand disease which involves lack of enough clotting factors hence promoting excessive bleeding
