Coagulopathy is inextricably linked to the field of hemostasis and thrombosis. In the same manner hemostasis and thrombosis may deal with bleeding and clot formation, coagulopathy also may be connected to bleeding or thrombosis, depending on the circumstances.

It is our obligation as hemostasis and thrombosis specialists to scotch this dubiety and direct the correct usage of coagulopathy.
