Indications
Many laboratories have discontinued the use of bleeding time testing in favor of prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT), platelet count, and platelet function testing as appropriate. This change in laboratory practice is based on the results of studies that do not support the clinical value of bleeding time in either surgical or nonsurgical applications.
Bleeding Time has been found in Davis's Lab & Diagnostic Tests
