Hypercoagulable states
Definition
Hypercoagulable state is a condition in which you are more likely to develop blood clots. Blood clots can develop in either arteries or veins.
Hypercoagulable states fall into two groups:
Inherited
Acquired
Inherited means you are born with the tendency to form abnormal blood clots. Common inherited conditions that affect clotting are factor V Leiden and the prothrombin mutation 20210A.

There are numerous hypercoagulable states. Each has different causes and each increases a person's chances of developing blood clots such as those associated with thrombophlebitis (clot in the veins).
Predisposing conditions for Budd-Chiari syndrome include abnormal blood clotting (hypercoagulable states), tumor invasion into the hepatic (liver) vein or inferior vena cava, and membranous obstruction of the inferior vena cava (webs).
Several factors may cause DVTs including injury to the vein, slowing of blood flow, and conditions that increase the tendency for the blood to clot (termed hypercoagulable states or thrombophilia).
