1. Answer:
Bleeding disorders can be broadly classified into platelet disorders, coagulation factor disorders, and vascular disorders. The following table provides a comprehensive list of these disorders along with their associated lab values:
Disorder | Platelet Count | Bleeding Time | PT (Prothrombin Time) | aPTT (Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time) | TT (Thrombin Time) | Fibrinogen Level |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Immune Thrombocytopenic Purpura (ITP) | Decreased | Increased | Normal | Normal | Normal | Normal |
Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura (TTP) | Decreased | Increased | Normal | Normal | Normal | Normal |
Hemophilia A | Normal | Normal | Normal | Increased | Normal | Normal |
Hemophilia B | Normal | Normal | Normal | Increased | Normal | Normal |

Patient Education and Counseling Tips:
Patients with bleeding disorders should be educated about the signs of bleeding and when to seek medical attention. They should also be counseled on avoiding activities that could lead to injury and bleeding. Medication management, including the use of anticoagulants and antiplatelet agents, should be discussed. Genetic counseling may be beneficial for patients with hereditary disorders.
