4. Blood Disorders
Some people are born with disorders that can cause them all sorts of problems in life. Some are quite harmless, whereas others can be very dangerous, one example being blood clotting disorders. Some people are simply born with blood that is more likely to clot, and this can cause a very real threat to their lives.
A patient’s blood can also become more likely to clot if the patient has other medical conditions like diabetes. Depending on the condition, it may be necessary for them to take medication to prevent clotting. At the same time, however, it is important that their blood is still able to clot when needed.
