D68.6: Other thrombophilia
Your blood is clotting too quickly. Blood clots can also form more easily as a result.
Blood clotting is controlled by many different proteins in the blood. There are antibodies in your blood that are targeted against your body’s own tissue. The antibodies attach themselves to somatic cells or to blood clotting proteins in the blood. The proteins for blood clotting can no longer work properly as a result or the antibodies encourage blood clotting. Blood clots can also form more easily as a result.
These antibodies can be congenital or develop as a result of illness.
