What is another word for coagulation factor?
Pronunciation: [kə͡ʊˌaɡjʊlˈe͡ɪʃən fˈaktə] (IPA) 
Coagulation factors are proteins found in the blood that play a critical role in the clotting process, which is essential to stop blood flow after an injury or cut. Other words synonymous to coagulation factor are clotting factors, hemostatic factors, and thrombogenic factors. These factors work together in a complex cascade, known as the coagulation pathway, to create a fibrin clot at the site of the damaged blood vessel. The coagulation pathway is regulated by various factors, including vitamin K, calcium, and anticoagulants. Abnormalities in these factors can lead to bleeding disorders, such as hemophilia or thrombosis, which can be life-threatening if left untreated.
