New York: United States’ Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton has been admitted to a New York hospital after the discovery of a blood clot stemming from the concussion she sustained earlier this month, Local Media reported on Sunday.
Clinton spokesman Philippe Reines says her doctors discovered the clot during a follow-up exam Sunday.
Reines says Clinton is being treated with anti-coagulants.
Clinton had been refused to carry further as Secretary of State after Obama’s electing for second term.
Health experts says that “Persons with inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis), infections, and certain tumors may have lupus anticoagulants.”
“Some people have no risk factors for this condition. In some cases, SLE is linked to an increased risk of blood clots and may be the cause of recurrent miscarriages” says experts.
Clinton aide Philippe Reines, who issued the statement, declined to provide further details.
The statement said that “in the course of a follow-up exam, Secretary Clinton’s doctors discovered a blood clot had formed, stemming from the concussion she sustained several weeks ago. She is being treated with anti-coagulants and is at New York-Presbyterian Hospital so that they can monitor the medication over the next 48 hours.
“Her doctors will continue to assess her condition, including other issues associated with her concussion. They will determine if any further action is required.”
