Overview

Blood Coagulation is the process in which blood forms clots to stop bleeding. Coagulation involves the activation of a series of proteins, or clotting factors, that interact to form a mesh of fibrin on the wound surface which forms a physical barrier to prevent further bleeding. Coagulation is vital for normal wound healing and for preventing excessive bleeding during injury and surgery, and is also an important component of the body's immune response, helping to prevent infection from invading pathogens. Deficiencies or disorders of the clotting cascade can cause spontaneous bleeding or an inability to form a clot, leading to excessive bleeding or an inability to heal properly from minor injuries. Thus, knowing the normal processes of coagulation and the potential for disorders of coagulation are important for managing and treating bleeding disorders and for improving the recovery of patients after surgery or injury.
