Coagulation Disorders
Coagulations disorders are conditions that affect the blood’s clotting activities. Coagulation disorders can result in either a hemorrhage (too little clotting that causes an increased risk of bleeding) or thrombosis (too much clotting that causes blood clots to obstruct blood flow). Hemophilia, Von Willebrand disease, clotting factor deficiencies, hypercoagulable states and deep venous thrombosis are all coagulations disorders. Hemophilia and Von Willebrand disease are among the best known.1
