Factor X (Stuart-Prower Factor)

StarStarStarStar

Function: Converts prothrombin to thrombin in the presence of Factor V. Disorders: Factor X deficiency.

StarStarStarStar

Factor I (Fibrinogen)

StarStarStarStar

Function: Converts to fibrin during clotting. Disorders: Afibrinogenemia, Hypofibrinogenemia, Dysfibrinogenemia.

StarStarStarStar

Factor VIII (Antihemophilic Factor)

StarStarStarStar

Function: Cofactor for Factor IX, aids in activating Factor X. Disorders: Hemophilia A.

StarStarStarStar

Factor VII (Stable Factor)

StarStarStarStar

Function: Initiates coagulation in the extrinsic pathway. Disorders: Factor VII deficiency.

StarStarStarStar

Factor XI (Plasma Thromboplastin Antecedent)

StarStarStarStar

Function: Activates Factor IX. Disorders: Hemophilia C (Factor XI deficiency).

StarStarStarStar

Von Willebrand Factor

StarStarStarStar

Function: Binds to Factor VIII and platelets, aiding in platelet adhesion. Disorders: Von Willebrand Disease.

StarStarStarStar

Factor II (Prothrombin)

StarStarStarStar

Function: Converted to thrombin in clotting process. Disorders: Prothrombin deficiency, Hypoprothrombinemia.

StarStarStarStar

Factor IX (Christmas Factor)

StarStarStarStar

Function: Activates Factor X with help from Factor VIII. Disorders: Hemophilia B.

StarStarStarStar

Prekallikrein

StarStarStarStar

Function: Works with high-molecular-weight kininogen to activate Factor XII; involved in inflammation and blood pressure control. Disorders: Prekallikrein deficiency may lead to prolonged aPTT without bleeding.

StarStarStarStar

Factor V (Proaccelerin)

StarStarStarStar

Function: Cofactor for the conversion of prothrombin to thrombin. Disorders: Parahemophilia, Factor V Leiden.

StarStarStarStar

Factor XIII (Fibrin-stabilizing Factor)

StarStarStarStar

Function: Stabilizes the fibrin clot by cross-linking fibrin. Disorders: Factor XIII deficiency can lead to severe bleeding disorders.

StarStarStarStar

Factor III (Tissue Factor)

StarStarStarStar

Function: Initiates extrinsic pathway of coagulation. Disorders: Tissue Factor deficiency is rare but can lead to bleeding.

StarStarStarStar

Factor XII (Hageman Factor)

StarStarStarStar

Function: Initiates intrinsic pathway and blood coagulation. Disorders: Factor XII deficiency is usually asymptomatic but can lead to prolonged clotting times.
