the liver only makes the proteins which are responsible for clotting the blood. it has no direct role in coagulation.

The liver synthesizes all factors involved in coagulation (apart from one-third of factor VIII) - that is, fibrinogen, prothrombin, factors V, VII, IX, X and XIII, proteins C and S and antithrombin as well as components of the complement system.
