Factor VIII

Factor VIII


The Factor VIII blood test evaluates the activity of Factor VIII, a key clotting protein produced in the liver. Low levels may indicate bleeding disorders such as haemophilia A, while high levels may be associated with an increased risk of blood clots. This test is often recommended if you have unexplained bleeding, bruising easily, or a family history of clotting disorders
