 The normal range of bleeding time is from 3 to 6 minutes in the template method; from 3 to 6 minutes in the Ivy method; and from I to 3 minutes in the Duke method.
Abnormal bleeding time suggests platelet defect (type of cells in the blood).
Leukemia can be ruled out by combination of physical examination and few lab investigations.
