Evaluation of bleeding disorders. A detailed history and laboratory tests provide clues

Postgraduate Medicine
S Sallah, G Kato

Abstract

A single, optimal screening laboratory test for hemostasis would evaluate vascular, platelet, coagulation, and fibrinolytic functions. Unfortunately, such a test does not exist. The key factor in determining the presence of a bleeding diathesis is obtaining a detailed patient history. Results of coagulation tests should always be interpreted in the context of such a history. Screening tests include platelet count, PTT, and PT. Subsequent investigations depend on the results of these tests.

Blood Clotting Disorders

Thrombophilia includes conditions with increased tendency for excessive blood clotting. Blood clotting occurs when the body has insufficient amounts of specialized proteins that make blood clot and stop bleeding. Here is the latest research on blood clotting disorders.
