Le prove coagulative nel bambino sano (seconda parte)

Abstract

In Paediatrics, coagulation tests are often prescribed in children without bleeding symptoms, for example before surgery/invasive procedures, or in case of family history of coagulopathy. Moreover, sometimes impairment in coagulation tests is occasionally found in routine blood tests. This brief article presents a practical approach to guide the family paediatrician on the indications for coagulation tests and the interpretation of any abnormality found in otherwise “healthy” children.
