What it is for

A coagulation factor test is used to find out if you have a problem with any of your clotting factors that may cause too little or too much blood clotting. Coagulation factor tests are also used to check on people who have a known problem with clotting factors or who take medicine called blood thinners to lower the risk of blood clots.
