Factor VII (Proconvertin) Activity

Factor VII (Proconvertin) Activity

Factor VII, also known as Proconvertin, is a vital protein involved in the clotting of blood. It is one of the several proteins in the blood that work together in the coagulation process to help prevent excessive bleeding following an injury. Factor VII Activity test measures the functionality and level of Factor VII in the blood. This test is essential for diagnosing and managing bleeding disorders such as hemophilia and can also be used to assess the risk of excessive blood clotting.

Factor VII deficiency can lead to a bleeding disorder where the blood does not clot properly. This could be due to low levels of Factor VII or because the Factor VII is not functioning as it should. Conversely, too much Factor VII activity can lead to excessive clotting, which is also dangerous as it can result in blood clots within vessels, potentially leading to strokes or heart attacks.
