BLOOD COAGULATION
Coagulation is a complex process by which blood forms clots. It is an important part of hemostasis (the stopping of blood loss from a damaged vessel , and maintaining blood as a fluid within the vessel walls) , whereby a damaged blood vessel wall is covered by a platelet and fibrin containing clot to stop bleeding and begin repair of the damaged vessel. Disorders of coagulation can lead to an increased risk of bleeding (hemorrhage) and/or clotting (thrombosis).
