Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Thrombophilia refers to a tendency to favor thrombus formation due to an imbalance in the major constituents of the hemostatic system, such as abnormal clotting factors or platelet function. Hypercoagulability is a broader term that describes a state of increased tendency towards clotting, which can have various causes including thrombophilia. Thrombosis refers to the formation of a blood clot within a blood vessel, while thromboembolism refers to the migration of a blood clot to another part of the body.
