Blood Coagulation Factors are the natural coagulants which maintain the flow of blood in the body and also make sure coagulation takes place in case of any injury.
- Factor I = Fibrinogen
- Factor II = Prothrombin
- Factor III = Tissue Thromboplastin
- Factor IV = Calcium
- Factor V = Proaccelerin, Labile factor
- Factor VI – Accelerin (Does not exist as it was named initially but later on discovered not to play a part in blood coagulation)
- Factor VII = Serum Prothrombin, Stable factor antihemophilic
- Factor VIII = Antihemophilic factor A, Antihemophilic Globulin, Antihemophilic factor
- Factor IX = Plasma Thromboplastin component, Antihemophilic factor B or Christmas factor
- Factor X = Stuart Prower factor
- Factor XI = Antihemophilic factor C
- Factor XII = Hageman factor
- Factor XIII = Fibrin stabilising factor
