About thrombosis
Thrombophilia
Acquired thrombophilia
The term acquired thrombophilia covers a range of conditions that can develop during the lifetime of an individual. These result in stickier blood and thus an increased risk of thrombosis.
Most acquired thrombophilias are rare, apart from the antiphospholipid syndrome and hyperhomocysteineaemia, which are becoming more widely recognised.
Acquired thrombophilia include:
Antiphospholipid
or Hughes' syndrome
Myeloproliferative
disorders
Paroxysmal
nocturnal haemoglobinuria
Hyperhomocysteinaemia
