    • dependent on clinical type
21
Q

Where is vW factor produced? What is the function? What is the structure of vWF

A
  • produced by endothelial cells, megakaryocytes/PLTs
  • Function:
    • When circulating: stabilize F8 (T1/2=2.4 hrs free to 12 hours bound)
    • Fixed: adhere to collagen and platelets through Gp1b
  • Structure: multimers-metalloproteases cleave freshly cut vWF into multimers. there should be equal amount of all of the multimers
22
Q

What are the 3 types of vWD? What are the characteristics of each of them?

A
  1. Type 1: Quantitative: most common A/D
    • clinically heterogenous usually mild (how much factor they have determines how severe the disease is)
  2. Type 2: Qualitative
    • 2A, 2B, 2M, 2N is A/R; others are usually A/D
    • moderate to severe bleeding (They make vWF but it is dysfunctional)
  3. Complete absence (Quantitative)
    • Rare, A/R
    • severe bleeding disorder, mimichking heterophilia
23
Q

How do we treat vWD?

A

desmopressin stimulates vWF release

factor concentrates

anti-fibrinolytics

oral concentration (to stop menorrhagia)

24
Q

What are the laboratory tests used to screen for vWD and what would we expect the results to be? What are the confirmatory studies? (sorry this is a long card)

A
  • Screen
    • CBC (normal PLT count)
    • PT (normal), aPTT (normal or prolonged)
    • vWF antigen levels
    • vWF activity (ristocetin)
    • Factor 8 activity
  • Confirmatory studies
    • multimer electrophoresis
    • specific biinding assays
    • platetlet aggregation
25
Q

In type 1, type 2 and type 3 vWD what would we expect for the vW antigen, vW activity, F8 activity?

A

Type 1: vW antigen decreased, vW activity normal or decreased, F8 activity Normal

Type 2: vW antigen normal, vW activity decreased, F8 activity normal or decreased

Type 3: vW antigen none, vW activity none, F8 activity very decreased

26

**these are what Goljian calls late bleeding disorders**

27

    • 30% are sporadic new mutations
28
Q

What are the different types of hemophilia?

A
  • Hemophilia A- F8 deficiency, most common inherited disease associated with life threatening bleeds
  • Hemophilia B- F9 deficiency
  • Hemophilia C- F11 deficiency
    • A/R inheritance

  • Bleeding tracks with factor levels
30
Q

What are the results of the lab tests that are done for evaluation of Hemophilia?

A
  • aPTT prolonged, PT normal
  • aPTT mixing study shows correction
  • factor levels/activities relate to severity
    • severe= <1% F8 or F9
    • moderate= 1-5% F8 or F9
    • Mild= 6-50% F8 or F9
31
Q

A deficiency in what factor is asymptomatic? What are the clinical manifestations and associated conditions of deficiencies in factor 1 (fibrinogen), 2, 5, 7, 10, 12, 13?

A

Factor 12 is asymptomatic and all the rest are associated with bleeding.

5=exposure to topical bovine thrombin

10= Amyloid

13= Poor wound healing infertility in men

32
Q

inhibitors (autoantibodies) against any clotting factor can develop and cause a deficiency in the setting of _______, ______ and ________

A

Inhibitors (auto-antibodies) against any clotting factor can develop and cause a deficieicny in the setting of autoimmune disorders, medications, and malignancies

33
Q

How can liver disease cause coagulopathy?

A
  • Deficiency of mulitple coagulation factors:
    • procoagulants: factors 2, 5, 7, 9, 10
    • anticoagulants: antithrombin III, Protein C, Protein S
  • Thrombocytopenia: hypersplenism (in pts w cirrhosis-associated splenomegaly), decreased thombopoietin production
  • Vitamin K deficiency

Q

How is vitamin K related to coagulation? What things cause VItamin K deficiency?
