Factor XI Inhibitor Profile, Comprehensive LabCorp

This test helps identify if you have a Factor XI inhibitor, which can cause excessive bleeding, by checking for substances that block Factor XI, a protein needed for blood clotting. Understanding if you have this inhibitor can help determine the cause of your bleeding symptoms, especially if you have a family history of bleeding problems. Defy Medical offers this test to help pinpoint the reason behind your bleeding concerns.
