Factor VII

Factor VII is a protein in the blood that plays a crucial role in the process of blood clotting. When a blood vessel is injured, Factor VII helps activate a series of reactions that lead to the formation of a clot, which stops bleeding. It works along with other clotting factors to ensure blood clots form quickly and effectively. Abnormal levels of Factor VII, whether too low or too high, can increase the risk of excessive bleeding or unwanted clotting, making it important for maintaining proper blood health and helping diagnose certain bleeding or clotting disorders.
