General information

Factor XIIIa promotes stabilization of the fibrin clot by cross-linking alpha-2 plasmin inhibitor to the alpha chain of fibrin. Clinically used in patients with congenital factor XIII deficiency.[1][2][3]

Extravasation: no information
For conciseness and simplicity, HemOnc.org currently will focus on treatment regimens and not list information such as: renal/hepatic dose adjustments, metabolism (including CYP450), excretion, monitoring parameters (although this will be considered for checklists), or manufacturer. Instead, for the most current information, please refer to your preferred pharmacopeias such as Micromedex, Lexicomp, UpToDate (courtesy of Lexicomp), or the prescribing information.[1]
