Her doctors say she is making excellent progress. A State Department spokeswoman said Mrs. Clinton plans to return to her office next week.
Last month, the 65-year-old diplomat suffered a stomach virus that caused her to be dehydrated -- lacking enough fluids in her body. She fell and hit her head while she was sick.
In a normal medical examination following the accident, doctors discovered the blood clot between her brain and her skull, a sinus venous thrombosis. She is currently taking medicine called blood thinners to break up the blood clot. Dr. Ben Wedro works at a Wisconsin trauma center. Dr. Wedro describes a blood clot.
Most common blood clots occur in the leg. This can be deadly if the clot moves to a lung and blocks the flow of blood to the heart. Mrs. Clinton suffered a blood clot in her leg in 1998. She once said that it was the biggest health threat she had ever faced.美国国务卿希拉里·克林顿因血凝块在纽约一家医院接受住院治疗，目前已出院在家。她的治疗医生说她康复非常顺利。一名国务院发言人表示，克林顿夫人计划下周复工。
上个月，这位65岁的外交家因胃部病毒感染导致脱水（即体内缺乏足够的液体）。生病期间她跌倒致使头部撞伤。
在事故之后的一项常规医疗检查中，医生发现她大脑和颅骨间有血凝块，确诊为静脉窦血栓。目前，她正在服用一种名为血液稀释剂的药物以期分解血凝块。就职于威斯康辛外伤中心的维德罗医生这样描述血凝块。
血凝块最常出现于腿部。如果血凝块移动至肺部或阻碍血液流入心脏，就会有致命危险。克林顿夫人1998年腿部曾出现血凝块，被其称之为遭受过的最大的健康威胁。
