Thrombosis, or the solidification of blood in a blood channel, is a potentially fatal disorder because, should a clot develop in a blood vessel, it may block or restrict blood flow to crucial organs like the brain, heart, or lungs. There are two varieties of thrombosis: arterial and venous, but deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is the most frequent type and can be dangerous because blood clots in the lung can cause pulmonary embolism, which can cut off the blood flow to essential organs like the lungs.
A color Doppler examination, a type of specialist ultrasonography for the blood arteries, is the best method for diagnosing DVT. The results of this test can show if the clots are only in the legs or have reached the abdominal arteries.
The main factors contributing to thrombosis are:
1. Hypercoagulability or increased blood thickness – The susceptibility to thrombosis is increased by blood with higher clotting factor concentrations. Typically, genetic disorders are at fault. Thrombophilia is another name for hypercoagulability.
2. Injury to the blood vessels – Blood tends to clot when the blood vessel lining is harmed. The result is thrombosis.
3. Slowing or pooling of the blood – In cases of heart failure or prolonged periods of inactivity, sluggish blood flow can potentially lead to thrombosis. Two additional medical conditions that could affect blood flow and cause a thrombus to form are cancer and irregular heartbeat.
Factors that increase the risk of thrombosis include:
1. Birth control pills: Estrogen and progestin are used to help prevent pregnancy in birth control pills. But long-haul flights and estrogen in particular enhance the risk of deep vein thrombosis.
2. Spending extended periods of time in one posture whether sitting or standing: This raises the risk of thrombosis.
3. During surgery, some blood vessels are frequently harmed; as a result, a clot may form and go to the lung.
4. Hereditary clotting disorder: These conditions cause the blood to become thicker and more likely to clot.
5. Smoking: Smoking harms the lining of blood vessels and increases the likelihood that blood clots may develop, increasing the risk of excessive blood clotting.
