Bleeding Time

Results and Values

What do the test results mean?

Bleeding normally stops within 1 to 9 minutes. If it takes longer for the bleeding to stop, there might be a problem. These problems include:

  • a vascular defect, which is a problem with the blood vessel walls
  • a platelet function defect, which is failure of the clotting factors to work properly
  • thrombocytopenia, which is a shortage of platelets in the blood
    • Certain medication, such as aspirin and warfarin may also cause prolongations in bleeding time.
