Thick blood or hypercoagulability is a condition where the blood is thicker and stickier than usual. When a person has hypercoagulability, they are prone to excess blood clots. The condition is the result of an abnormality in the clotting process.
Among abnormalities that cause thick blood is an imbalance of proteins and cells responsible for blood clotting.
Thick blood can obstruct the movement of oxygen, hormones, and nutrients in the body, preventing them from reaching tissues and cells. This can cause low oxygen levels in the cells and lead to hormonal and nutritional deficiencies.
