Thrombophilia is a pathological condition in which the balance between the blood clotting and anticoagulation systems is disturbed in the body. As a result, the risk of blood clots forming increases, which can lead to dangerous complications: deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, stroke or heart attack.
