When blood is much thicker than water: what to know about thrombophilia

Thrombophilia is when the blood clots too frequently and very quickly. It is a disorder that can be genetic or acquired and will cause clots in the veins and arteries, obstructing flow.

The body should normally break them down after time, but with thrombophilia, the body makes too many and also doesn’t break down the older ones fast enough. An expert surgeon and professor in the vascular system shares with us what you need to understand about thrombophilia.
