<\/span>Introduction<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\nGel-like collections of blood that form in our veins or arteries are known as blood clots. The blood changes its form, going from liquid to partially solid, jelly-like. Clotting is a normal body function that helps the body from excessive blood loss when we suffer from injuries or wounds. Nevertheless, when these blood clots are formed in places where they do not get dissolved, or on their own, they can cause serious threats to your health ^{1<\/sup><\/a>.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n}
A blood clot is usually initiated as a response to a wound on a blood vessel. An unwanted blood clot is called a thrombus. When a blood clot is stationary it is called thrombosis, while when this blood clot moves through the body, it is identified as a dangerous condition called thromboembolism or embolism. Blood clots can form both in the arteries (arterial clots) or the veins (venous clots).\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Knowledge of your condition and the risk factors involved may help you identify and prevent this potentially life-threatening condition.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
