Thrombophilia
Thrombophilia is a medical condition characterised by an increased tendency to form abnormal blood clots in veins and arteries. This hypercoagulability can lead to serious complications, including deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism. Thrombophilia can be inherited or acquired, and diagnosis typically involves blood tests. Effective management might require medication and ongoing monitoring.
