Disease/Condition Glossary

Blood Clot: A blood clot is a clump or mass of blood formed when platelets, proteins, and cells in the blood adhere to one another. When you are injured, your body creates a blood clot to stop the bleeding. Though blood clots are helpful to stop bleeding, they may be harmful when abnormally formed within blood vessels as they block blood vessels and inhibit blood flow to essential organs such as the brain, heart or lungs and result in severe conditions. Obesity, smoking, cancer, a family history of blood clots, age over 65, and certain birth control pills or pregnancy are common risk factors for blood clots.
