Overview
Thrombophilia may be classified into three subtypes: inherited or primary hypercoagulable states, acquired or secondary hypercoagulable states, and mixed/unknown.[1][2]
Classification
- Prothrombotic states which can be origin from venous or both venous and arterial clots might be classified into heritable, acquired or mixed resulting from the interactions between the environment (e.g. oestrogen use, obesity or other lifestyle factors) and genetic factors as elaborated in the following Table 1.[1][2]

| Acquired thrombophilia or secondary hypercoagulable state | Example |
