A member asked:
Is it true that thrombosis is a circulatory disorder?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Thrombosis is what we call a clot in the artery or vein. The veins are 1/2 of your circulation , and arteries are the other 1/2 , so yes of course thrombosis or clot blockage is a localized circulatory disorder.
