Overview
Coagulation tests are the gold standard for the diagnosis of hemophilia. Prolonged activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT), normal prothrombin time (PT), prolonged bleeding time (BT), and normal fibrinogen concentration are diagnostic of hemophilia. Coagulation tests should be followed by measuring the clotting factors level. Bethesda assay can be performed in the case of acquired hemophilia to detect and quantify antibodies directed against factor VIII.
Diagnostic Study of Choice
Study of Choice
The following result of the coagulation tests is confirmatory of hemophilia:
- Prolonged activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT)[1][2][3][4][5][6]
- Normal prothrombin time (PT)[1][2][7][8]
- Normal fibrinogen concentration[6][3]
- Prolonged bleeding time (BT)[9][8]
