I have been on apixaban but was taken off them to do further blood tests. From the test they found that the bloods for factor 8 level was at 221. Does anyone understand what this means and had similar results and were you put on medication for this to stop the risk of blood clots?

I have always understood that whilst females can pass haemophilia to their male offspring they can't have it themsleves so I am confused by your question or do you not mean haemophilia?.
Sorry.... I'm new to this. My problem isn't haemophilia. I have a problem with blood clots and the blood test the docs took showed high results in Factor 8 levels. So my blood does clot... but a bit too well leading to blood clots.
I think the number 221 is your D-Dimer range which normal according to the internet search I ran. The factor 8 means you have a propensity to DVT. (venous thromboembolism) But I am not a health professional so I might be wrong on that. Best to ask the medical team who gave you those results.
All the best.
