Depends on what it is.  I have von willebrands and the test for that takes a couple of viles of blood but they won't test the children unless they absolutely need to because taking blood from a child (especially a baby) is difficult and VWB's isn't immediately life threatening iykwim.  DD was tested before she had surgery last year but DS hasn't needed to be tested yet.

Does anyone know how they test for bleeding disorders these days?

Alex looks like hes inherited a bleeding problem from the in laws. On his skin prick test he took a very long time to clot. BIL couldn't get his tonsils out as a kid because they thought he would bleed to death. MIL is a bleeder too (fluctuating factor 8 or something).

I'm not worried by it, just curious. Hes gonna be referred to a paed but I doubt they will be in any great hurry to see him.]]> Tue, 26 Oct 2010 15:55:50 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36420&PID=1185436&title=bleeding-disorders#1185436
