The active clotting factor is a protein that plays a crucial role in the blood coagulation process, helping to form a stable blood clot. Each clotting factor is typically designated by a Roman numeral (e.g., Factor I is fibrinogen, Factor II is prothrombin). When activated, these factors undergo biochemical changes that facilitate the conversion of fibrinogen to fibrin, leading to the stabilization of the clot. The interplay between various active clotting factors ensures effective hemostasis and prevents excessive bleeding.
