microtrombos
Microthrombos refers to the formation of very small blood clots, or thrombi, within the tiny blood vessels known as capillaries and arterioles. These microscopic clots can obstruct blood flow, leading to reduced oxygen supply to tissues and potentially causing damage. The precise mechanisms underlying microthrombus formation are complex and can involve several factors.
One contributing factor is the activation of the coagulation cascade, the natural process by which blood clots
Certain medical conditions are associated with an increased risk of microthrombus formation. These include sepsis, a
