What Causes Thickening Of Blood With Reduced Oxygen Levels?

my husband has been admitted to hospital twice within the laste 4 months. He blood is to thick and carry no oxegyn. He is currently on wafrin, go for test ever week but the laste week he has to go every 3rd day to have it tested. His count today was 1.02 and he has to take 10mg wafarin again and go back on Wednesday for testing. I would like to know what can be wrong with his blood for we don't seem to get any answers. Please I'm desperate and hate to see him suffer like this.

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
He has thrombophilia. It means high tendency of blood clotting. There are many cause like vit b12 deficiency, high homocystein, protein c or protein s deficiency or some other cause.
He should take warferrin for blood thinning. He should maintain his INR between 2 to 3.
Consult your doctor and set the dosage accordingly.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic.
Wish you a very good health.
