Bleeding and Clotting Disorders |
What is Factor 7 and how does it influence?05/02/2007 |
What implications for clotting are influenced by an absence of factor 7? If one is undergoing minor surgery and has an absence of Factor 7 what could happen? Previous surgeries have never had a clotting problem.
Patients with a deficiency of Factor 7 will typically have a prolonged prothrombin time (PT) and will typically be prone to bleeding, especially with more invasive or involved procedures, although there can be some variability in this. In these situations a consultation with a hematologist experienced with coagulation issues should likely be done to assess the risk for bleeding prior to a procedure.
