Explanation

"Cause of the hypercoagulable state" refers to the reason why a person's blood is clotting more than it should. Normally, blood clots form to stop bleeding when we get injured. However, in a hypercoagulable state, blood clots form too easily or don't dissolve properly, which can block blood vessels and cause serious health problems. The cause could be a variety of factors, including certain diseases, medications, or genetic conditions.
