Factor I = Fibrinogen Factor II = Prothrombin Factor III = Tissue factor Factor IV = Calcium Factor V = Labile factor Factor VI - Does not exist as it was named initially but later on discovered not to play a part in blood coagulation. Factor VII = Stable factor Factor VIII = Antihemophilic factor A Factor IX = Antihemophilic factor B or Christmas factor (named after the first patient in whom the factor deficiency was documented) Factor X = Stuart Prower factor Factor XI = Antihemophilic factor C Factor XII = Hageman factor Factor XIII = Fibrin stabilising factor

The 13 blood coagulation factors are: * Factor I - fibrinogen * Factor II - prothrombin * Factor III - tissue thromboplastin (tissue factor) * Factor IV - ionized calcium ( Ca++ ) * Factor V - labile factor or proaccelerin * Factor VI - unassigned * Factor VII - stable factor or proconvertin * Factor VIII - antihemophilic factor * Factor IX - plasma thromboplastin component, Christmas factor * Factor X - Stuart-Prower factor * Factor XI - plasma thromboplastin antecedent * Factor XII - Hageman factor * Factor XIII - fibrin-stabilizing factor
