Coagulation factors are proteins circulating in the blood that are essential for proper blood clot formation. Coagulation factor tests measure the function of or sometimes the amount of these proteins in the blood. There are nine coagulation factor proteins that can be measured clinically Factor I, II, V, VII, IX, X, XI, XIII. These factors are referred to by a name or Roman numeral or both in some cases. When one or more of these factors are produced in too small a quantity, or are not functioning correctly, they can cause excessive bleeding.
