The Coagulation Cascade

Consequences linked to deficiencies in coagulation factors:

  1. Coagulation does not proceed at its usual pace, it is much slower than normal.

  2. Activation of subsequent factors may be delayed or inhibited.

  3. The time required for a clot to form is prolonged.

  4. The breach fails to seal, and free bleeding continues.
