According to one study, the incidence of trauma-induced hypercoagulopathy can reach 22.2–85.1% in trauma patients, significantly increasing the risk of thrombotic events. This complex and dangerous state of excessive blood clotting is a critical, and often delayed, complication of severe injury. Understanding **what causes hypercoagulability in trauma** is essential for improving patient outcomes in critical care settings.

In severe shock, the body's finely tuned hemostatic system, responsible for balancing clotting and bleeding, is thrown into disarray. This often leads to an initial period of heavy bleeding followed by a paradoxical state known as hypercoagulability in shock, where blood clots excessively throughout the body, hindering blood flow and oxygen delivery to vital organs.
