Behavior of the fibrin-stabilizing blood coagulation factor XIII in hemorrhages after tooth extractions

Abstract

The influence of the fibrin-stabilizing coagulation factor XIII is necessary for the formation of a stable blood clot. The factor is not included in the usual global coagulation tests. The presence of lowered concentrations of this factor can be congenital or acquired as a result of various diseases. A lowered concentration of factor XIII was demonstrated in six patients with otherwise normal coagulation tests during a secondary hemorrhage a few days after an extraction. The hemorrhage was attributed to the lowered resistance of the instable blood clot over against the fibrinolytic characteristics of the buccal cavity milieu.

Blood Clotting Disorders

Thrombophilia includes conditions with increased tendency for excessive blood clotting. Blood clotting occurs when the body has insufficient amounts of specialized proteins that make blood clot and stop bleeding. Here is the latest research on blood clotting disorders.
