Hypercoagulable states are characterized by an increased risk for developing venous and arterial thrombosis. This situation is the consequence of inbalance of the hemostatic activity (fibroinformation > fibrinolysis). Primary and secondary hypercoagulable states are reviewed and clinical situations mandatory for a laboratory evaluation are discussed.
