Bleeding Disorder Workup
A bleeding disorder workup helps diagnose abnormal bleeding by evaluating clotting function. It includes tests like CBC, PT, aPTT, fibrinogen levels, and platelet function studies. Specialized tests, such as von Willebrand factor and clotting factor assays, may be needed. A thorough history and lab evaluation guide proper diagnosis and treatment.
