Abstract
Factor XIII (FXIII), a plasma transglutaminase, is a coagulation factor that plays a crucial role in blood clotting and patient blood management. The studies have demonstrated that FXIII targets a wide range of additional substrates that have an important role in hemostasis, especially in posttraumatic patients, patients undergoing surgery or obstetrics, being involved in wound healing and tissue repair. Morover, FXIII deficiency has also been described and an extensive research has shown that FXIII deficiency is a rare coagulopathy that leads to longer bleeding time, perioperative and postoperative complications and slower wound healing. Present article aims to overview the diverse functions of FXIII and to highlight its role in patient blood management.
期刊介绍:
Blood Coagulation & Fibrinolysis is an international fully refereed journal that features review and original research articles on all clinical, laboratory and experimental aspects of haemostasis and thrombosis. The journal is devoted to publishing significant developments worldwide in the field of blood coagulation, fibrinolysis, thrombosis, platelets and the kininogen-kinin system, as well as dealing with those aspects of blood rheology relevant to haemostasis and the effects of drugs on haemostatic components
