| | Coagulation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Coagulation is similar in all mammals, but as most is known about the system in humans, this article focuses on human blood coagulation. | | | The coagulation cascade of secondary hemostasis has two pathways, the Contact Activation pathway (formally known as the Intrinsic Pathway) and the Tissue Factor pathway (formally known as the Extrinsic pathway) that lead to fibrin formation. | | | It was previously thought that the coagulation cascade consisted of two pathways of equal importance joined to a common pathway. |

| | Most people think of blood in its liquid state, but its ability to thicken into a blood clot is a vital part of the body's natural defense. | | | This process of forming a clot is referred to as coagulation. | | | If this occurs in a vital organ such as the heart, lungs or brain, the clot can be fatal. |

| | Blood Coagulation |
| | Although the concept of "intrinsic" and "extrinsic" pathways served for many years as a useful model for coagulation, more recent evidence has shown that the pathways are not, in fact, redundant but are highly interconnected. | | | Coagulation can be initiated via the "intrinsic" pathway in vitro | | | Prolongation of both the aPTT and the PT suggests that the defect lies in a common pathway. |

| | Deficient function of this system can lead to fatal bleeding following even a minor injury, whereas overactivity of this system can produce unwanted blood clots, resulting in blockages to critical blood vessels, as occurs in such diseases as heart attack and stroke. | | | The fibrinolytic system, the body's mechanism for breaking down blood clots, is delicately balanced with the system that forms blood clots. | | | Characterizing these genes may provide valuable new information to help us distinguish the 10 percent of humans with factor V Leiden who will develop a serious blood clot during their lifetime from the 90 percent who will remain asymptomatic. |

| | Factor V Leiden |
| | The result is that factor V Leiden is inactivated by activated protein C at a much slower rate (see Figure 3), thus leading to a thrombophilic (propensity to clot) state by having increased activity of factor V in the blood. | | | Activated protein C then combines with protein S on the surface of a platelet (platelets are the clotting cells that circulate in the blood and provide phospholipids to support that clotting process). | | | Factor V Leiden is characterized by a phenomenon called APCR where a genetic mutation in the factor V gene causes a change in the factor V protein making it resistant to inactivation by protein C. A detailed description of the clotting process is found on the clotting information web page. |
