Hypercoagulable state: A hypercoagulable state is the medical term for a condition in which there is an abnormally increased tendency toward blood clotting (coagulation). There are numerous hypercoagulable states.
Pregnancy is a hypercoagulable state. Thrombotic risk in. an individual pregnancy depends on many maternal and. situational factors. When indicated, careful anticoagulation can proceed. with minimal risk to the mother and fetus. Heparins, especially LMWHs, are the main anticoagulants. used in pregnancy. Dosing depends on the clinical indica-. tions and on the agent selected. If anticoagulation is absolutely necessary and LMWH. is contraindicated, a newer, alternative anticoagulant. should be considered.
