Thrombosis (Blooding Clotting Disorders)

Below you will find a collection of articles from Hematology, the ASH Education Program Book, written by experts in the field about risk factors, preventative measures, and treatments for thrombosis. Information about blood clots and blood clotting in pregnancy is also available on this Web site. Additionally, a number of links to organizations that inform and support patients with clotting disorders and their families are available.
