spontaneous or easy bruising and recurrent joint bleeds
screening for hemophilia
PTT will be prolonged
PT, bleeding time, and platelet count will all be normal in
hemophilia
desmopressin can be used to treat
mild hemophilia A
desmopressin role increases
vWF and factor VIII levels and releases VIII from weibel-palade bodies
desmopressin key side effects
