The term thrombosis describes the formation of a blood clot in a blood vessel. The blood vessel can be a vein (venous system) or an artery (arterial system). The symptoms that occur with a clot depend on where the clot occurs, the size of the clot, and whether the clot breaks off and travels to another part of the body (a process called embolization). For example, a blood clot in the leg can break off and travel to the lungs (called a pulmonary embolism) or travel to the brain (called an embolic stroke).
Clots in the veins mainly occur in the extremities, but they can also occur in the veins of internal organs such as the liver, spleen, or intestines. The most common types of clots in the veins are deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE). Clots in the arteries can also affect a variety of organs including the brain (stroke), heart (myocardial infarction), or intestines (abdominal angina).
What Is a Clotting Disorder (Thrombophilia)?
Thrombophilia is a term used to describe a group of conditions in which there is an increased tendency, often repeated and over an extended period of time, for excessive clotting. Inherited or acquired abnormalities of coagulation can increase an individual’s risk of developing a clot. These conditions are prothrombotic (ie, they promote clot formation) and are commonly known as clotting disorders or thrombophilia. For more detailed information on clotting disorders, click here. According to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC),1 between 5% and 8% of the US population has a clotting disorder. Inherited clotting disorders such as deficiencies in antithrombin, protein C or protein S lead to a lifelong increased risk of clots. Identifying an underlying clotting condition clearly has important implications for an individual’s life and medical care.
The risk of blood clots is higher in individuals who have several risk factors for clotting— for example, a person with an inherited clotting condition Factor V Leiden [FVL], protein S deficiency, protein C deficiency, or antithrombin deficiency) who also has other risk factors such as pregnancy, oral
