Abstract

Bleeding is one of the most serious and significant of the cardinal manifestations of disease. It may occur from a local site or may be generalized. Bleeding associated with a local lesion may be superimposed on either a normal or a defective haemostatic mechanism. In contrast general bleeding is usually associated with a hemorrhagic diathesis. This article covers various investigations and protocol to accurately diagnose the defect in the hemostasis mechanism.
