Approach to mucosal bleeding in an adolescent with FXI deficiency

Ruchika Sharma, Bryce A. Kerlin

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapter

Abstract

Factor XI is a coagulation factor produced in the liver that is activated by thrombin and reinforces the intrinsic clotting pathway. Factor XI deficiency is mostly autosomal recessive and more commonly seen in Ashkenazi Jews. Patients usually present with bleeding at sites of high fibrinolytic activity. Subtypes and management options are discussed further in the context of a clinical case.
