Excessively clear or thick blood is a disease. When it is too clear, it tends to bleed, and when it is thick, it causes problems with the normal circulation of the blood, and the tissues are not nourished properly. Our liver is responsible for the functioning of both systems, so patients with coagulation problems should not forget to treat the liver.
