Hyper-Coagulability
Hyper-coagulability is the medical condition in which a person’s blood is more likely to clot in comparison to the other people. According to the doctors, the causes of hyper-coagulability can be different for each individual and some of these include smoking, recent injury, pregnancy, side effects of certain medications, cancer, or birth control pills. Certain genetic blood clotting disorders and hyper-coagulable states including Factor V Leiden, elevated levels of homocysteine, and pro-thrombin gene mutation can also cause pulmonary embolisms in some patients.
