Metabolic disorders represent a serious medical and social problem and are risk factors for the development of thromboembolic complications. Disturbances of both carbohydrate and fat metabolism contribute to an increase in blood viscosity, creating prothrombotic conditions, which are not always objectively assessed even by specialists. In addition, multiple comorbid conditions usually significantly complicate the prognosis. The article presents a clinical case of recurrent thrombosis of the right atrium and the orifices of the superior and inferior vena cava in a 39-year-old patient with type 2 diabetes mellitus, obesity, arterial hypertension, and varicose vein disease.
