Differential Diagnosis

Different causes of the bleeding disorders can be differentiated based on their clinical manifestation and laboratory findings.

These features have discussed in the below table:

Category Sub-category Diseases History Clinical manifestation Laboratory testing Comments
Mucosal bleeding Petechia Ecchymoses Menorrhagia Hematoma Hemarthrosis Platelet count Bleeding time (BT) Prothrombin time (PT) Activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) Thrombin time (TT)

  • Impaired fibrin cross linking or clot dissolution.
  • The severity of bleeding in patients with fibrinogen disorders can be mild or severe, with higher bleeding risk in those with afibrinogenemia or lower levels of functional fibrinogen. The age of onset is also variable, with earlier onset in those with more severe deficiency.

Factor V deficiency _ + + + + Normal Normal The severity of bleeding is only partly related to the degree of factor V deficiency. Some patients with undetectable plasma levels of factor V experience only relatively mild bleeding.

Different types of Von-Willebrand diseases can be differentiated from each other based on the following table:[43]

Type of VWD Type of factor deficiency Prevalence Inheritance pattern Clinical manifestations VWF activity RIPA Factor VIII
Type 1 Quantitative/ partial 60-70% AD
  • Bleeding severity mild to severe
Type 2 2A[44] Qualitative 10% AD/AR N or ↓

2M Qualitative <1% AD/AR N or ↓
2N Qualitative <1% AR N N
Type 3 Complete deficiency 1-2% AR Absent Low, 1-10%
