ABSTRACT
Besides the long-recognized hemophilias, there are many other factor deficiencies. Some also are inherited, but others are acquired because of both immune and nonimmune etiologies. Understanding the optimal laboratory approach to evaluating factor deficiency will aid physicians and laboratory scientists in obtaining a prompt diagnosis and in avoiding pitfalls in coagulation testing.
