Presentation
Case studies presented at the end of each clinical chapter demonstrate how to apply concepts to scenarios similar to those you’ll encounter in practice. [books.google.de]
CONCLUSIONS: Hereditary thrombophilias are present in a significant number of thromboembolic events. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
This study was aimed at estimating the incidence of factor X deficiency in patients presenting with bleeding disorders and its clinical presentations. [ayubmed.edu.pk]
In the present case, bleeding was established after the patient had bitted his tongue, causing a lacerated wound with persistent bleeding due to his systemic disease. [scielo.br]
Although most coagulation problems reflect acquired disorders, a number of inherited conditions can also present at this time. [fn.bmj.com]

Workup
The decision to initiate a laboratory workup for thrombophilia is complex. [18, 19, 20, 21] A workup for thrombophilia is usually indicated only in patients with one or more of the following risk factors: Recurrent thromboembolic episodes Thromboembolism [emedicine.medscape.com]
A peripheral smear serves several purposes in a bleeding workup. [aafp.org]
Clinical Testing and Workup Laboratories studies can include a complete blood count (CBC), coagulation tests and factor assay. [rarediseases.org]

The prognosis varies, depending on the severity of symptoms; generally, it is good, as long as bleeding is promptly recognized and adequately controlled. [emedicine.medscape.com]
Etiology
The first chapter stresses the etiology and pathophysiology of childhood stroke as the basis for evaluations and treatment. [books.google.de]
When factor deficiencies are suspected, the etiology can usually be determined by checking a limited number of factors, keeping the following facts in mind: Factors II (prothrombin), VII, IX, and X are vitamin K-dependent. [clinicaladvisor.com]

If initial testing does not reveal an etiology in a patient with a high suspicion for a bleeding disorder, the patient should be referred to a hematologist for additional evaluation. [aafp.org]
Etiology OWRD (ie, HHT) is a disorder that is inherited in an autosomal dominant fashion, [23, 24] though 20% of patients are unaware of a positive family history, partly because the lesions may be minimal and because 10% of patients have no episodes [emedicine.medscape.com]
