clotting disorders
Abnormal blood thickening
Clotting disorders are medical conditions where blood doesn't clot properly.
Some cause excessive clotting, leading to dangerous blockages in blood vessels.
Others, like hemophilia, prevent adequate clotting, causing prolonged bleeding from minor injuries.
Her clotting disorder requires regular monitoring.
Treatment depends on whether the body clots too much or too little.
