Hi doctor,
My son was exposed to warfare chemical in the navy. During his tonsil surgery, he was found to have bleeding disorder. He is suffering from hemophilia and is undergoing a colonoscopy tomorrow. Should he receive coagulant for this procedure?
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
Based on your query, my opinion is as follows:
- During any procedure bleeding time and clotting time that is prothrombin (PT) and activated partial thromboplastin time (APPT) are always evaluated and then only the procedure is done.
- If he has no clotting issues at present then nothing further is necessary.
- Also, colonoscopy is a superficial procedure and no further coagulant is necessary if prothrombin and activated partial thromboplastin times are normal.
Treatment plan:
No extra coagulation factor necessary, if PT and APTT are normal.
Regarding follow up:For further information consult a hematologist online.---> https://www.icliniq.com/ask-a-doctor-online/hematologist
