Clinical Cases at the Intersection of Hematology and Hemostasis Testing

Clinical laboratory hematology and hemostasis/thrombosis testing are closely related. This webinar will review selected interesting clinical cases from ARUP Laboratories with consideration of both morphologic findings on peripheral blood smears and abnormal hemostasis/thrombosis testing results. We will explore how the results from each of these laboratory sections work together to reach a final diagnosis.

Dr. Karen A. Moser is a medical director of the hemostasis and thrombosis laboratory. She is also an associate professor (clinical) at the University of Utah School of Medicine. Dr. Moser received her medical degree from Saint Louis University. She then completed an anatomic and clinical pathology residency and a hematopathology fellowship at the University of Utah School of Medicine. Dr. Moser is board certified in anatomic and clinical pathology and hematology. Her research interests include laboratory hemostasis and thrombosis testing and medical education.

Objectives

After this presentation, participants will be able to:

List diseases that may require both morphology assessment and hemostasis tests for diagnosis
Discuss how hematology and hemostasis tests can be interpreted together for comprehensive diagnosis of bleeding and clotting disorders
Identify key peripheral blood morphologic features that may suggest an underlying disorder of hemostasis
