Abstract:
Hematological conditions rarely present as isolated hematuria. Factor VII deficiency is a rare congenital coagulopathy inherited as autosomal recessive pattern. It usually presents a severe life-threatening bleeding at an early age. The presentation of congenital factor VII factor deficiency for the first time as recurrent hematuria at a later age is a rare presentation. We report a case of a 23-year-old male, who presented to us with recurrent episodes of painless hematuria for the past three months due to congenital factor VII deficiency.

Extrinsic and Intrinsic Pathways of Hemostasis
The Extrinsic Pathway
The extrinsic pathway of coagulation is typically initiated by tissue damage that exposes blood to tissue factor (TF), a protein released by the damaged tissue cells outside the blood vessels—this interaction with TF triggers biochemical reactions involving specific clotting factors. The key player here is Factor VII, which...
