In hematology, thrombophilia, also called hypercoagulability, is "a disorder of hemostasis in which there is a tendency for the occurrence of thrombosis."[1]
Clinical
Recurrent embolism and thrombosis
Habitual abortion

Thrombophilia have an increased risk of fetal loss, especially stillbirth after 28 weeks of gestation as opposed to miscarriage (spontaneous abortion) before 28 weeks of gestation[3]
Habitual abortion, the occurrence of three or more spontaneous abortions may be due to thrombophilia.[2]
The benefit of adding treatment with low molecular weight heparin to patients already taking aspirin is not clear.[4]
