Explore Treatments for Factor XIII Deficiency

Factor XIII Deficiency is a rare bleeding disorder caused by a lack of Factor XIII, a crucial protein involved in the final stage of blood clotting. Factor XIII is an enzyme that helps stabilize blood clots by cross-linking fibrin strands, making the clot stronger and more durable. Without it, clots are weaker and break down too easily, leading to abnormal bleeding. This disease can be inherited - although very rare - or caused by autoimmune conditions, severe infections, or cancers. With regular treatment people with Factor XIII Deficiency can live normal, healthy lives.
