Acquired Low Factor XIII Activity Is Associated with an Increased Need for Blood Transfusions in Patients with Gastrointestinal Bleedings
The present study shows an association of factor XIII activity with the requirement of blood transfusions in patients with gastrointestinal bleedings and indicates a potential benefit of factor XIII substitution. Factor XIII activity seems to be dependent from the amount of blood loss and the global coagulation parameters.
