4.9 Bleeding disorders Flashcards
coagulation tests
bleeding time,
prothrombin time (PT),
Partial thromboplastin time (PTT)
PT longer than normal tells you
dec platelet function
PT looks at
external path
Partial thrombo-plastin time (PTT) looks at
intrinsic path
genetics of hemophilia A and B
x -linkend
Hemophilia A
def in 8 (most common)
Hemophilia B
def in 9
severe activity
<1% - see internal bleeding and hemoarthrosis
moderate activity
1-5% - has variable course
mild activity
5-40% - may not even be diagnosed
in hemophilia PTT is
abnormal
what is the most common coagulation disorder
von Willebrand Disease
Von Willebrand Disease
dec amount of function of vWB factor - rirmber vWBF also carries and stabilizes factor 8 in the ciruculation
von Willebrand Disease subtypes
1 2 and 3 each with subtypes
Most common von Willebrand Disease subtype
Type 1 (60-80%)
Type I vWB diisease
heterozygous quantitative reduction in the amount of vWB factor (10-45% or normal),
frequently asymptomatic and not diagnosed under normal condition
Type 2 vWB disease
20-30%, qualitative defect in fn but normal levels of protein, subtypes A B M N
Type 2 vWB disease -A
inability to form HMW multimers
Type 2 vWB disease - B
gain of fn causing binding of platelets to HMW multimers and abnormal clearance
Type 2 vWB disease - M
qualitative deficit in native protein not in the ability to form multimers
