5-30 KRAFTS Bleeding Disorders Flashcards

1
Q

What are some differences in bleeding caused by platelet issues versus those caused by Factor issues?

A
Platelet bleeding
		Superficial (skin)
		Petechiae (called purpura when coalesce together)
		Spontaneous
	Factor bleeding
		Deep (joints)
		Big bleeds
		Trauma

Q

What lab results would you see in vW diease (bleed time, PTT, INR, etc)

A

↑Bleed time
↑PTT (probably b/c less Factor VIII)
Normal INR (why?)
Abnormal platelet aggregation test

Q

What is Gray Platelet Syndrome?

A

No α granules in platelets –> mild bleeding

17
Q

What is δ Granule deficiency?

A

No δ Granules in platelets, can be part of a syndrome

18
Q

What are the 4 things you must know about Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation?

A

Lots of underlying disorders
Something triggers coag  thrombosis
Platelets & factors get used up  bleeding
Microangiopathic hemolytic anemia (MAHA)

19
Q

What 4 causes of DIC must you for sure remember (MOST)?

A

Malignancy
OB complications
Sepsis
Trauma

20
Q

What lab tests would you see in DIC?

A

PTT, TT, INR prolonged
↑FDPs
↓Fibrinogen

21
Q

How do you Tx DIC?

A

Treat underlying disorder, support patient w/ blood

22
Q

What are the 4 things you must know about ITP?

A

Antiplatelet Ab’s
Acute vs Chronic
Dx of exclusion
Tx: Steroids or splenectomy

23
Q

What do the Ab’s in ITP bind?

A

GP IIb-IIIa or Ib –> spleen eating platelets

24
Q

What is a fear of chronic ITP?

A

Brain bleed (SA hemorrhage)

25
Q

What labs would you see in ITP?

A

Normal PTT, INR, TT
↓Platelets
↑Megakaryocytes & big platelets (b/c they’re making more)

26
Q

TTP and HUS are a subset of what?

A

Thrombotic Microangiopathies – thrombi, ↓platelets, and MAHA

27
Q

What are the 4 things you must know about Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura (TTP)?

A

Pentad: Thrombi, ↓platelets, fever, neuro deficits, renal failure
Deficiency of ADAMTS13
Big vWF multimers trap platelets
Tx: Plasmapheresis or Plasma infusions

28
Q

What is ADAMTS13?

A

Cleaves large vWF.

W/o ADAMTS13, big vWF aggregates plateltes –> thrombi

29
Q

What are the 4 things you must know about Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome (HUS)?

A

MAHA and ↓platelets
Epidemic (E.coli) vs non-epidemic
Toxin (or ?) dmges endothelium
Tx: support

30
Q

Why don’t we give antibiotics to HUS patient?

A

B/c bug would burst open releasing it’s toxins

31
Q

What are some other causes of acquired bleeding disorders?

A

Vitamin K deficiency - ↓coag factors

Liver disease - ↓factors and thrombopoietin, ↓VitK absorb, portal hypertension traps platelets
