Abstract Factor XIII (FXIII) contributes to clot stability and reduces clot susceptibility to lysis through fibrin cross-linking. Standard coagulation tests like prothrombin time and activated partial thromboplastin time do not..

Abstract Factor XII (FXII) is a central mediator at the intersection of coagulation, fibrinolysis, inflammation, and immunity. It is activated upon contact with negatively charged surfaces, triggering the intrinsic coagulation..

Abstract Data on factor XIII (FXIII) activity in patients on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) are scarce. In this prospective, observational, single-centre study, we determined the rate of acquired FXIII deficiency..
