The hemorrhagic disorders may be divided into three etiologic groups.
Etiologic Groups of Hemorrhagic Disorders
Congenital Hemophilioid Disorders1-21 (Table 1).
These are ordinarily understood to be hemorrhagic disorders that clinically resemble hemophilia resulting from a genetically determined deficiency or inactivity of a factor in plasma which is necessary for an effective prothrombin-converting and fibrin-forming mechanism.1
