Liver Function and Kidney Function tests are unremarkable.PT = 11.3 seconds (Ref: 10-13 secs)aPTT = 32.1 seconds (Ref: 28-37 secs)Plt Count = 8,000/uLThese clinical manifestations and laboratory results are most consistent with:

A patient has a platelet count of 80 × 109/L and a normal closure time. What is the most likely disorder?

Which hemostatic disorder usually is represented by a decreased platelet count, normal PT, normal APTT, and abnormal PFA closure time?

Aliquots of plasma with a prolonged PT and prolonged aPTT are mixed using various ratios of patient plasma and normal plasma. All samples are incubated at 37oC and tested at 10-, 30-, and 60-minute intervals. The PT and aPTT results on all of the mixtures are corrected to normal limits. These results are suggestive of:
