hyperkoagulable
Hypercoagulability refers to a condition in which blood clots form more easily than normal. This can occur due to various factors, including genetic predispositions, certain medical conditions, and lifestyle factors. The primary consequence of hypercoagulability is an increased risk of thrombosis, which is the formation of blood clots within blood vessels. These clots can obstruct blood flow, leading to conditions such as deep vein thrombosis (DVT), pulmonary embolism (PE), and stroke.
Several factors can contribute to hypercoagulability. Genetic conditions, such as factor V Leiden and prothrombin gene
Diagnosis of hypercoagulability typically involves a combination of medical history, physical examination, and laboratory tests. Blood
Treatment for hypercoagulability focuses on preventing clot formation and managing underlying conditions. Anticoagulant medications, such as
