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

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]
