Clotting Factors: Clotting factors factors are like puzzle pieces and all are required, in addition to functional platelets, to control bleeding. Factor V, or F5 deficiency, can cause problems with abnormal bleeding since that factor is missing. An elevated factor 8 can cause the opposite problem - increased risk of blood clots. It is best to have a discussion about these findings with your hematologist.
