A member asked:

Expert opinions? what kind of conditions involves excessive clotting of blood?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

The thrombophilias: There are probably at least a hundred. They include mutant clotting factors, antibodies against components of the clotting cascade, and medication effects; more or less related are problems with excessively numerous platelets, vasculitis promoting clotting, and other vessel disease promoting clotting (atherosclerosis, for example), and blood that's too viscous (polycythemia, Waldenstrom).
