Victims of high-altitude pulmonary edema often have clots obstructing the pulmonary vessels. This, together with an apparent high incidence of thrombophlebitis and cerebral emboli at altitude suggests that mountain travel may predispose to hypercoagulability. A critical analysis of the available data suggests that, although thrombosis may be a late event complicating various forms of mountain sickness, the laboratory techniques of characterizing hypercoagulability are not sufficient to define and characterize the mechanism.
高原肺水肿患者常常有血栓阻塞肺血管。这一点，再加上高原地区静脉血栓炎和脑栓塞的明显高发率，表明登山旅行可能会使人易于发生血液高凝状态。对现有数据的批判性分析表明，虽然血栓形成可能是各种高原病后期出现的并发症，但用于表征血液高凝状态的实验室技术尚不足以明确和描述其机制。
