Answer: Coagulation factors Thanks for your question. As you may already know, these lab values represent your blood's ability to clot. If they are abnormal, then you are at a much higher risk of having bleeding complications during and after surgery. In my opinion, these values would need to be normal before undergoing any elective surgical procedure.
