Plasma Medicine
Clotting factors are a series of proteins in the blood that play a crucial role in the process of coagulation, which helps to stop bleeding by forming clots. These factors work in a complex cascade, activating one another to ultimately produce fibrin, which forms the mesh that stabilizes a clot. Understanding these factors is essential for recognizing how plasma influences blood coagulation and how deficiencies or abnormalities can lead to bleeding disorders.
