Principles of diagnosis of bleeding disorders with particular focus on laboratory diagnostics
Hematologia 2016;7(4):303-311.
Abstract
Recognising haemorrhagic disorders is a complex process which entails using an accurate personal medical or family history, meticulous physical examination and selecting the appropriate laboratory tests for making a final diagnosis. This paper describes currently applicable principles for diagnosis of bleeding disorders, specially emphasising how laboratory findings are interpreted. In the last part of the paper we present diagnostic algorithms that integrate the patient’s history of bleeding with laboratory results regarding hemostasis.
