Can lead poisoning cause blood clots?

Lead poisoning primarily affects the nervous system and can lead to various health issues, including anemia and hypertension. While it is not directly linked to causing blood clots, the damage it inflicts on blood vessels and the inflammatory responses it triggers may contribute to conditions that could increase the risk of clot formation. However, more research is needed to fully understand the relationship between lead exposure and clotting disorders. Always consult a healthcare professional for specific medical advice.
