A group of proteins, such as fibrinogen, prothrombin, and factor VII, that circulate in the blood and are required for forming blood clots. Since several clotting factors are manufactured by the liver, people with advanced liver failure sometimes have abnormally low levels of them and are therefore prone to bruising and prolonged bleeding. These proteins are sometimes referred to as ‘coagulation factors.'
any of the factors in the blood whose actions are essential for blood coagulation
Chemical constituents of the blood, which in response to blood vessel injury, interact in sequence to results in a clot.
Plasma proteins, synthesized by the liver, that are essential to the clotting response.
blood proteins required for blood to clot normally, often called "factors."
The components, most of them proteins, that circulate in differing concentrations in the blood and upon which normal coagulation depends.
These are important proteins needed to form blood clots.
substances that cause a blood clot to form at the site of an injury.
Substances in the bloodstream, especially vitamin K, that are important in the process of blood clotting. Prolonged bleeding is produced when these substances are absent.
Any of various plasma components involved in the clotting of blood, including fibrinogen, prothrombin, thromboplastin, and calcium ion.
A group of chemicals in the blood (factors I to XIII) that interact to make blood clot.
Substances in your blood that help it clot and stop bleeding.
substances in the blood that cause blood to clot
Proteins made in the liver that are important in maintaining normal blood clotting. Disruption in the blood's ability to clot may indicate that the liver is not creating enough clotting factors. A severe shortage in clotting factors may indicate that a liver transplant is needed.
1. Proteins made by the body that act as a team to relay the message to make a fibrin net. There are at least 14 clotting factors, identified by roman numerals. A deficiency in one of the clotting factors causes prolonged bleeding and is known as hemophilia. 2. Medicine made from human blood sources, or derived from genes, that replaces the missing clotting factor in people with hemophilia, allowing their blood to clot successfully.
substances such as factors Xa and IIa (thrombin) in the blood that are required for blood to clot.
