Patf Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 I'd like to know how to describe in french the quality of blood that we call thin or thick. I somehow don't think it will be fin or epais.It's a long story, but I need to know to ask the doctor something.Could you use fluide? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minnie Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 I'm currently on blood thinners following internal surgery and the other day was admitted to A&E as I was bleeding - the word for thin is fluide. Fortunately it was just a bit of a scare and seemed to be a clot dispersing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NormanH Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 I am on préviscan, a 'traitement' to 'fluidifier le sang'..(like warfarin) to thin the bloodAlso known as a 'traitement AVK' anti vitamin K.'épais' can be used for thickA clot is a 'caillou'..a blocked artery is un 'artère occlusé'a DVT is a 'phlébite' and a superficial phlebitis is a 'paraphlébite' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
