Wikipedia
clotting
Coagulation, also known as clotting, is the process by which blood changes from a liquid to a gel, forming a blood clot. It potentially results in hemostasis, the cessation of blood loss from a damaged vessel, followed by repair. The mechanism of coagulation involves activation, adhesion and aggregation of platelets, as well as deposition and maturation of fibrin. Coagulation begins almost instantly after an injury to the endothelium lining a blood vessel. Exposure of blood to the subendothelial space initiates two processes: changes in platelets, and the exposure of subendothelial tissue factor to plasma factor VII, which ultimately leads to cross-linked fibrin formation. Platelets immediately form a plug at the site of injury; this is called primary hemostasis. Secondary hemostasis occurs simultaneously: additional coagulation (clotting) factors beyond factor VII (listed below) respond in a cascade to form fibrin strands, which strengthen the platelet plug.Disorders of coagulation are disease states which can result in problems with hemorrhage, bruising, or thrombosis.Coagulation is highly conserved throughout biology. In all mammals, coagulation involves both cellular components (platelets) and proteinaceous components (here, coagulation factors). The pathway in humans has been the most extensively researched and is the best understood.

clotting
Clotting, also known as coagulation, is a complex biological process that helps stop excessive bleeding when the body's blood vessels are injured. It involves the transformation of liquid blood into a semi-solid gel, forming a blood clot. This is achieved through a series of chemical reactions in the body, involving special proteins called clotting factors. If there's an imbalance in the system, it can cause either excessive bleeding or excessive clotting, both of which can be life-threatening.

Examples of clotting in a Sentence
There appears to be a clotting risk from using erythritol, obviously, more research is needed, but in an abundance of caution, it might make sense to limit erythritol in your diet for now.
But what we’re seeing with erythritol is the platelets become super responsive — a mere 10% stimulant produces 90 to 100% of a clot formation, for people who are at risk for clotting, heart attack and stroke — like people with existing cardiac disease or people with diabetes — I think that there’s sufficient data here to say stay away from erythritol until more studies are done.
There’s no definitive proof of the relationship between inflammation and clotting, but the evidence is growing and it’s very intriguing, and it emphasizes the value of trying to prevent shingles in the first place by getting vaccinated.
We are only now starting to look at such markers.In some ways, we need to look at those who were young and otherwise healthy who succumbed to the disease as well as older persons with co-morbidities, certain types of receptors in the lungs might hold some useful information.Other scientists have suggested we need to look at the genetics of blood clotting, or the number of certain interleukins, which can be markers of inflammation. We need more time and data to build a useful profile.
Thirty grams was enough to make blood levels of erythritol go up a thousandfold, it remained elevated above the threshold necessary to trigger and heighten clotting risk for the following two to three days.
