What are Blood Clotting Disorders?
Clotting disorders occur when unwanted blood clots form, sometimes blocking normal blood flow through blood vessels or breaking loose and traveling to other sites in the body. Between 5 percent and 8 percent of people in the U.S. have hereditary or acquired clotting disorders (thrombophilia).
Blood clotting disorders may lead to serious conditions, including:
Deep vein thrombosis – vein blockages, most often in the legs
Pulmonary embolism – clots in the lungs
Stroke – cutoff of blood to the brain
Heart attack – cutoff of blood to the heart
Gangrene – death of tissue caused by lack of blood flow
