Risk Factors, Symptoms, and Diagnosis of Thrombosis

ABSTRACT

This chapter examines the risk factors, symptoms, and diagnosis of thrombosis, a condition where blood clots form in blood vessels. Understanding the risk factors, such as genetic predispositions, lifestyle choices, and certain medical conditions, is crucial for preventing thrombosis. Recognizing the symptoms, which can vary based on the clot's location, and knowing how thrombosis is diagnosed through medical history, physical examination, and imaging tests, are essential for early detection and treatment.
