Mohamed Reda: Clotting Factors — The Key Players in Blood Coagulation

Mohamed Reda, Registered Nurse at Canadian Specialist Hospital, shared on LinkedIn:

”Clotting Factors — The Key Players in Blood Coagulation

Blood clotting is a vital process that prevents excessive bleeding when a vessel is injured.

It involves a series of proteins known as clotting factors, each playing a specific role in forming a stable clot.

Mnemonic to Remember:

  • Foolish People Try Climbing Long Slopes After Christmas, Some People Have Fallen
  • Each word represents a clotting factor — from Fibrinogen (I) to Fibrin Stabilizing Factor (XIII).

Highlights:

  • There are 13 major clotting factors involved in the coagulation cascade.
  • They work together to convert fibrinogen to fibrin, stabilizing blood clots.
  • Deficiency or dysfunction of these factors can lead to bleeding disorders like hemophilia.

Understanding these factors is essential for professionals in biomedical science, hematology, and clinical diagnostics.”
