Clotting Factor Deficiencies

Clotting factor deficiencies are medical conditions where the blood lacks certain proteins needed to form clots and stop bleeding. These factors are essential for a proper clotting process, and their absence or low levels can lead to excessive bleeding or difficulty healing wounds. Conditions like hemophilia are examples of this, often inherited. Diagnosis involves blood tests, and treatment typically includes replacing the missing factors through infusions. Managing these deficiencies helps prevent severe bleeding episodes and maintains overall health.
