This document provides an overview of the clinical and laboratory approaches to evaluating and diagnosing coagulation disorders. The clinical approach involves determining the severity and type of bleeding, whether it is localized or systemic, and if it is due to a platelet or coagulation factor disorder. The laboratory approach includes basic coagulation screening tests like the platelet count, bleeding time, clotting time, prothrombin time, activated partial thromboplastin time, and thrombin time. Further specific tests are used to identify the underlying coagulation factor deficiency, inhibitor, or other cause based on the screening test results.
