Acquired hypercoagulable states.
Abstract
Acquired hypercoagulable states comprise a diverse group of clinical conditions that are associated with an increased risk of thrombosis. These clinical conditions include malignancy, diabetes mellitus, venous stasis, pregnancy, oral contraceptive use, lupus anticoagulant, postoperative state, immobilization, myeloproliferative disorders, and nephrotic syndrome. Recognition of these associations, possible underlying mechanisms, identification of high risk individuals, thromboembolic prophylaxis, and other clinical implications are discussed.
