  2. Coagulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coagulation

    Coagulation, also known as clotting, is the process by which blood changes from a liquid to a gel, forming a blood clot. It results in hemostasis , the cessation of blood loss from a damaged vessel, followed by repair.

  3. Thrombosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thrombosis

    Thrombosis (from Ancient Greek θρόμβωσις (thrómbōsis) 'clotting') is the formation of a blood clot inside a blood vessel, obstructing the flow of blood through the circulatory system. When a blood vessel (a vein or an artery) is injured, the body uses platelets (thrombocytes) and fibrin to form a blood clot to prevent blood loss ...

  4. Hemostasis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemostasis

    The blood clot contains the secondary hemostasis plug with blood cells trapped in it. This is a necessary step for wound healing , but it has the ability to cause severe health problems if the thrombus becomes detached from the vessel wall and travels through the circulatory system; If it reaches the brain, heart or lungs it could lead to ...

  5. Coronary thrombosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coronary_thrombosis

    This blood clot may then restrict blood flow within the heart, leading to heart tissue damage, or a myocardial infarction, also known as a heart attack. [1] Coronary thrombosis is most commonly caused as a downstream effect of atherosclerosis, a buildup of cholesterol and fats in the artery walls. The smaller vessel diameter allows less blood ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virchow's_triad

    The origin of the term "Virchow's Triad" is of historical interest, and has been subject to reinterpretation in recent years. [7] While both Virchow's and the modern triads describe thrombosis, the previous triad has been characterized as "the consequences of thrombosis", and the modern triad as "the causes of thrombosis".

  8. Thrombus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thrombus

    A thrombus (pl. thrombi) is a solid or semisolid aggregate from constituents of the blood (platelets, fibrin, red blood cells, white blood cells) within the circulatory system during life. [1] [2] While a blood clot is the final product of the blood coagulation step in hemostasis in or out of the circulatory system.

  9. Coagulopathy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coagulopathy

    The normal clotting process depends on the interplay of various proteins in the blood. Coagulopathy may be caused by reduced levels or absence of blood-clotting proteins, known as clotting factors or coagulation factors. Genetic disorders, such as hemophilia and Von Willebrand disease, can cause a reduction in clotting factors. [2]
