Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Recombinant factor VIIa (rFVIIa) is used to increase the levels of factor VIIa in the blood, which is involved in the initiation of the coagulation cascade. By increasing the levels of factor VIIa, rFVIIa helps to promote clot formation, thereby shortening the prothrombin time (PT), which is a measure of the blood's ability to clot.
