What Are Human Coagulation Factors Used For?
Disease description:
I read in a book that blood clotting factors play a very important role in the human body, but I don’t fully understand their function. Could you please explain what human clotting factors do?

Dr. Zhang Heyang
Human coagulation factors are primarily used to improve and correct coagulation disorders and help achieve hemostasis. When a wound occurs, bleeding ensues; coagulation factors bind with platelets to slow blood flow at the wound site and promote clot formation. A deficiency in coagulation factors commonly leads to impaired coagulation function, necessitating treatment via exogenous supplementation.
