Activated clotting time (ACT), also known as activated coagulation time, is a test of coagulation. The ACT test can be used to monitor anticoagulation...

κύτος (kútos) 'cell') are a blood component whose function (along with the coagulation factors) is to react to bleeding from blood vessel injury by clumping...

part in blood clotting (coagulation). Fibrin from the coagulation cascade creates a mesh over the platelet plug. About 55% of blood is blood plasma, a...

a donor's blood is called plasmapheresis. While the first blood transfusions were made directly from donor to receiver before coagulation, it was discovered...

More common tests of blood coagulation include prothrombin time (PT) and partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) which measure coagulation factor function, but...

Fibrinogen (coagulation factor I) is a glycoprotein complex, produced in the liver, that circulates in the blood of all vertebrates. During tissue and...

Therefore, although the coagulation cascade can be triggered in vitro through the intrinsic pathway only, in vivo coagulation is triggered by the extrinsic...
