An outpatient evaluation is conducted for a 26-year-old female who reports a lifelong history of recurrent epistaxis and menorrhagia. Her menstrual periods typically last to days and require changing a highly absorbent pad every hours. One month ago, she required suturing and localized thrombin application for persistent oozing following a routine dental extraction. The patient takes an oral contraceptive pill and an over-the-counter iron supplement. Family history is notable for a mother who underwent a hysterectomy at age for heavy uterine bleeding.
Vital signs are normal. Physical examination reveals scattered, small ecchymoses on the shins but is otherwise unremarkable; there are no petechiae or joint effusions.
Initial laboratory studies reveal:
Complete blood count:
Hemoglobin:
Mean corpuscular volume:
Platelet count:
Coagulation profile:
Prothrombin time (PT): (Reference: )
Activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT): (Reference: )
aPTT mixing study (1:1 with normal plasma):
Further hemostatic testing:
