Blood clots due to the interaction of blood vessels, coagulation factors and platelets.

The cause of secondary hypercoagulable state is acquired factors or pathologies. For example, the risk of thrombosis may be increased by cancer, tobacco use, pregnancy, trauma or surgery, inflammatory and autoimmune diseases, and prolonged immobilization.
