Usage notes

[edit]

The adjective is not as commonly used as its near synonym hemorrhagic, which may mean "causing hemorrhage" or "involving or relating to hemorrhage". To some degree its use is idiomatically established (versus hemorrhagic) in terms such as hemorrhagiparous thrombocytic dystrophy.
