Blood Clotting and Blood Thinning Agents

 


The ability of the blood to form clots is very useful; however, it becomes a problem if the blood forms a clot where we don't want it to. Dr Joe Kosterich talks about blood clots and blood thinning agents, including different types of blood clotting disorders, why people are given blood thinning agents, what they are, how they work, how they are used, and blood tests.
