Abstract
Summary: Abnormalities that have been reported for platelet indices and function, coagulation factors and tests, and the fibrinolytic system in hypothyroidism are reviewed. These abnormalities, although usually of limited importance clinically, may occasionally lead to major bleeding episodes and to diagnostic confusion.Keywords
