BLEEDING DISORDERS A scare or properly reassured

Abstract

In an attempt to distinguish between ALL, CML, CLL,AML, ITP, DIC, hemophilia A, hemophilia B, vonWillebrand disease, Microangiopathic Hemolytic Anemia,Bernard-Soulier syndrome, Glanzmann thrombasthenia,Vitamin K deficiency, Heparin-inducedthrombocytopenia, Coagulation Factor Inhibitor, andFactor 5 Leiden, might influence the decision to work asa consultant clinical pathologist. Since most patientswith bleeding disorders are at risk for post-surgicalbleeding, CNS bleeding, post-trauma bleeding,nosebleeds (epistaxis), death from liver illness(hemorrhage), etc., it might become challenging formed school students or junior doctors to diagnose.When performing any type of invasive or non-invasiveprocedure, including emergency or elective surgery,hospitals, clinics, and the relevant junior doctors andmedical students must treat these illnesses as theprimary focus of care and conduct routine blood tests,platelet count, PT, PTT, hemoglobin, bleeding time, and,if necessary, a bone marrow biopsy. An abnormalristocetin test (for Von Willebrand disease) and a Ddimer test (for DIC) can be considered. It needs properinterpretation with a strong command of concepts,evaluation, and then diagnosis.
