En blodprop i lungen
Text
Submitted by enti
Source language: Danish

En blodprop i lungen opstår, når noget størknet blod sætter sig fast i et blodkar i lungen. Det størknede blod, blodproppen, kommer ofte fra blodkarrene i benet eller bækkenet, hvor man måske har en dyb årebetændelse.
Remarks about the translation
det er om blodprop

Title
A blood clot in the lung
Translation
English

Translated by Noella
Target language: English

A blood clot in the lung develops when a small amount of coagulated blood gets attached to a vessel in the lung.

The coagulated blood, blood clots, often comes from the blood vessels in the leg or the pelvis, where one maybe has a deep phlebitis.
Remarks about the translation
...where one maybe has a deep vein thrombosis .

Hi Noella,

What about:

"A blood clot in the lung develops, when a little coagulated blood cell fixes to a vessel in the lung." ?

Does that convey the original?

Hi Lilian,

It's not quite correct. Coagulated blood consists of more then one blood cell. But I must confess the error is mine. It should have been "a little bit of coagulated blood".
But maybe it's still better to say it like this :
"A blood clot in the lung develops when a small amount of coagulated blood gets attached (or attaches itself) to a vessel in the lung."
What do you think ?

Hi Pias,
I did a little researching on the internet. I found that both terms are correct. So I've written your alternative in the field for details.

Ok I was not sure about it, that's why I wrote a question mark. So you got my vote now!
