16
Q

The role of vitamin K and gamma carboxylation

A

Required for hepatic synthesis of prothrombin (factor II)

factors VII, IX, X, and protein C+S

17
Q

Vit K is a coenzyme for what enzyme

A

gamma- Glutamyl carboxylase

18
Q

What is the benefit of gamma- carboxylation

A

allows for the binding of Ca that allows for efficient clotting

19
Q

What two things are sensitive to Vitamin K

A
  1. INR

2. Factor VII

20
Q

what does calcium chelators do?

A

they bind to all the Ca in the blood, this no clotting occurs

21
Q

What do high levels of D-dimers indicate

A

the possibility of deep vein thrombosis

high risk for pulmonary embolism

22
Q

The roles and prostacyclin and NO?

A

these chemicals are released by the endothelium to prevent aggregation

prostacyclin is an antagonist of thromboxane A2

23
Q

Antithrombin III

A

Binds to and inhibits factor Xa, thrombin (IIa) and other activated clotting factors

24
Q

role of protein C and S

A

Proteins C and S act together to inactivate cofactors Va and VIIIa of coagulation cascade

protein S is a cofactor of protein C

protein C is activated by the binding of thrombomodulin to thrombin

25
Q

The role of plasmin

A

Plasmin causes fibrinolysis releasing fibrin degradation products (D -dimers).

26
Q

Aspirin

A

inhibits thromboxane A2 formation in platelets

irreversible inhibitor of COX

prevents clots

27
Q

heparin

A

activates antithrombin III and inactivates thrombin

prevents clots

28
Q

warfarin

A

Blocks VKOR in the liver and prevents the activation of Vit. K

oral anticoagulant

29
Q

streptokinase

A

Converts plasminogen to plasmin enabling dissolution of clots

30
Q

Tissue plasminogen activator

A

used to dissolve a thrombus

31
Q

Hemophilia A and B

A

X-linked recessive disorder

bleeding time = normal 
platelet count = normal 
INR = normal 
APTT = increased (defect in intrinsic pathway)
32
Q

How to differentiate between hemophilia A and B

A

A = factor VIII deficiency

B = factor IX deficiency

33
Q

Von Willebrand disease

A
bleeding time = prolonged 
platelet count = normal 
APTT = prolonged 
INR = normal 
vWF = low 

defect in platelet plug formation
instability of factor VIII

34
Q

Thrombocytopenia

A

increased bleeding time and low platelet count

35
Q

increased bleeding time, but normal/ low platelet count?

A

platelet receptor defects

GpIb defect: Bernard-Soulier syndrome

GpIIb/IIIa defect: Glanzmann Thrombasthenia
