Izifo zentliziyo kunye nezifo zemithambo yegazi zezona zibulala kakhulu ezisongela ubomi nempilo yabantu abakwiminyaka ephakathi kunye nabantu abadala. Ubusazi na ukuba kwizifo zentliziyo kunye nezifo zemithambo yegazi, ama-80% amatyala abangelwa kukwakheka kwamahlwili egazi kwimithambo yegazi. I-Thrombus ikwaziwa ngokuba "ngumbulali ofihlakeleyo" kunye "nombulali ofihliweyo".

Ngokwezibalo ezifanelekileyo, ukufa okubangelwa zizifo ze-thrombosis kubangelwe yi-51% yabantu bonke ababhubhileyo kwihlabathi liphela, kudlula kakhulu ukufa okubangelwa ziithumba.

Umzekelo, i-coronary artery thrombosis inokubangela i-myocardial infarction, i-cerebral artery thrombosis inokubangela i-stroke (stroke), i-lower end artery thrombosis inokubangela i-gangrene, i-renal artery thrombosis inokubangela i-uremia, kwaye i-fundus artery thrombosis inokunyusa ubumfama. Ingozi yokuphuma kwe-deep vein thrombosis kwi-low end inokubangela i-pulmonary embolism (enokukhokelela ekufeni ngesiquphe).

I-Anti-thrombosis yingongoma ephambili kwezonyango. Kukho iindlela ezininzi zonyango zokuthintela i-thrombosis, kwaye iitumato ekutyeni kwemihla ngemihla zinokunceda ekuthinteleni i-thrombosis. Ndiyathemba ukuba wonke umntu unokukwazi ngale ngongoma ibalulekileyo yolwazi: uphando lufumanise ukuba inxalenye yejusi yetumato inokunciphisa i-viscosity yegazi ngama-70% (nge-anti-thrombotic effect), kwaye le mpembelelo yokunciphisa i-viscosity yegazi inokugcinwa iiyure ezili-18; olunye uphando lufumanise ukuba ijeli etyheli-eluhlaza ejikeleze imbewu yetumato inempembelelo yokunciphisa ukuhlanganiswa kweeplatelet kunye nokuthintela i-thrombosis, zonke izinto ezine ezifana nejeli kwiitumato zinokunciphisa umsebenzi weeplatelet ngama-72%.
