I-Thrombosis yinto eqinile ehlanganiswe yizingxenye ezahlukahlukene emithanjeni yegazi. Ingenzeka kunoma yimuphi ubudala, ngokuvamile phakathi kweminyaka engama-40-80 nangaphezulu, ikakhulukazi abantu abaneminyaka ephakathi nendawo kanye nabantu asebekhulile abaneminyaka engama-50-70. Uma kunezici eziyingozi kakhulu, kunconywa ukuhlolwa ngokomzimba njalo, kucutshungulwe ngesikhathi.

Ngoba abantu abaneminyaka ephakathi nendawo kanye nabantu asebekhulile abaneminyaka engu-40-80 nangaphezulu, ikakhulukazi labo abaneminyaka engu-50-70, bathambekele ekuhlushweni yi-hyperlipidemia, isifo sikashukela, umfutho wegazi ophakeme kanye nezinye izifo, okungase kubangele ukulimala kwemithambo yegazi, ukuhamba kwegazi okuhamba kancane, kanye nokujiya kwegazi okusheshayo, njll. Izici eziyingozi kakhulu ezivame ukubangela ukujiya kwegazi, ngakho-ke ukujiya kwegazi kungenzeka kakhulu. Nakuba ukujiya kwegazi kuthinteka yizici zobudala, akusho ukuthi intsha ngeke ibe ne-thrombosis. Uma intsha inemikhuba emibi yokuphila, njengokubhema isikhathi eside, ukuphuza utshwala, ukuhlala isikhathi eside, njll., kuzokwandisa nengozi yokujiya kwegazi.

Ukuze kuvinjelwe ukwenzeka kwamahlule egazi, kunconywa ukuthi uhlakulele imikhuba emihle yokuphila futhi ugweme utshwala, ukudla ngokweqile, kanye nokungazivocavoci. Uma usuvele unesifo esiyisisekelo, kufanele uthathe umuthi ngesikhathi njengoba kuyalelwe udokotela, ulawule izici eziyingozi kakhulu, futhi ubukeze njalo ukuze unciphise ukwanda kwamahlule egazi futhi ugweme ukubangela izifo ezingathi sína.
