Coagulopathy

Coagulopathy (also called clotting disorder and bleeding disorder) is any defect in the body's mechanism for coagulation, leading to a predisposition for to clot too slowly (hypocoagulability) or too quickly (hypercoagulability). In some cases, a coagulopathy can present with both increased bleeding tendency and increased risk of thrombosis, such as in thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura.

Hypocoagulability
Hypocoagulability is an unusual susceptibility to bleeding, that is, an increased bleeding diathesis, due to an abnormality in coagulation.

Hypercoagulability
Hypercoagulability (also termed thrombophilia or a prothrombotic state) is an abnormality of blood coagulation that increases the risk of thrombosis (blood clots in blood vessels).
