Q

Main treatments for rare bleeding disorders

A
  • Replacement therapy of deficient coagulation factor
  • Nontransfusional adjuvant therapies (antifibrinolytic amino acids, estrogen/progestin)
  • Fresh-frozen plasma
  • Cryoprecipitate

Difficult due to lack of longitudinal clinical data and limitations of available laboratory assays

Requires considering patient’s personal and familial history of bleeding to guide management

Q

Inherited disorder presenting as type I (true deficiency) or type II (dysfunctional prothrombin)

A

PROTHROMBIN (FACTOR II) DEFICIENCY

  • The activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) and prothrombin time (PT) are prolonged. The thrombin time (TT) is normal.

Types of prothrombin deficiency
* Severe (less than 5%)
* Moderate (5-10%)
* Mild (greater than 10%)

Q

Factor essential for the activation by thrombin of thrombin-activatable fibrinolysis inhibitor (TAFI) or carboxypeptidase B, an enzyme that inhibits fibrinolysis.

Deficiency may result in increased fibrinolytic activity, with consequent increase in bleeding.

A

Factor XI

Most patients with factor XI deficiency are Jewish.

Factor XI Displays both procoagulant and antifibrinolytic activities

Q

Causes formation of blood clots that are unstable and susceptible to fibrinolytic degradation by plasmin

Cause Bleeding from the umbilical cord of newborns frequently.

Intracranial hemorrhage occurs more often.

Habitual abortion and poor wound healing

A

FACTOR XIII DEFICIENCY

17
Q

Screening tests for coagulation abnormalities are all usually normal in factor XIII deficiency

The diagnosis is established by

Although in some cases, the thrombin time may be minimally prolonged

A
  • Increased clot solubility in 5-M urea or
  • Chemical assays for factor XIIIa activity

Deficiency of α2-antiplasmin gives a similar pattern as factor XIII deficiency but can be diagnosed by specific assay.
