Factor X activation assays

Factor X activation assays are laboratory tests that evaluate how effectively the blood clotting process activates Factor X, a key protein in blood clot formation. The test measures the ability of blood or plasma to convert Factor X into its active form, Factor Xa, in response to specific triggers. This helps diagnose clotting disorders, monitor anticoagulant therapy, or assess bleeding risks. The results provide insight into the efficiency of the coagulation pathway, ensuring proper blood clot formation and prevention of excessive bleeding or clotting.
