In hematology, thrombophilia, also called hypercoagulability, is "a disorder of hemostasis in which there is a tendency for the occurrence of thrombosis."[1]

Clinical

Recurrent embolism and thrombosis

For more information, see: Embolism and thrombosis.


Habitual abortion

Thrombophila and habitual abortion.[2]
  Odds ratio
Early pregnancy loss Late pregnancy loss
Factor V Leiden 2.01 (95% CI 1.13-3.58) 7.83 (95% CI 2.83-21.67)
Prothrombin G20210A 2.56 (95% CI 1.04-.29) 2.30 (95% CI 1.09-4.87)

Protein C deficiency No association

Habitual abortion, the occurrence of three or more spontaneous abortions may be due to thrombophilia.[2]
