6. Disorders of haemostasis Flashcards
what 2 things cause a bleeding disorder?
CF deficiency or dysfunctional CF
2 types of bleeding disorder
hereditary or acquired
4 types of hereditary bleeding disorder
Haemophilia A, B, C and vW disease
2 types of acquired bleeding disorders
consumption or production problem
bleeding disorder which is caused by a consumption problem
Disseminated IV coagulation
2 production problems in acquired bleeding disorder
Vit K def, Liver disease
8 main sxs of bleeding disorders
bleeding gums purpura chronic anaemia mennorhagia bruising petichae rash joint bleeds muscle bleeds
what is Haemophilia A?
FVIII deficiency
what is Haemophilia B?
FIX deficiency
what is Haemophilia C?
FXI deficiency
5 CF examples which are autosomal recessive
prothrombin = IIa fibrinogen = I FV FVII FXIII
where are autosomal reccessive CF disorders common?
countries with incest
3 causes of vitamin K deficiency
- inadequate diet
- malabsorption
- drugs (warfarin)
how does vitamin K deficiency affect haemostasis?
leads to decreased synthesis of F II, VII, IX, X
what is the APTT and PT in vit K def? why?
prolonged in both - as many factors involved which are part of instrinsic and extrinsic
what does liver disease cause?
impaired absorption of Vit K
how does liver diease affect haemostasis?
same effects of Vit K deficiency - leads to decreased synthesis of F II, VII, IX, X
what is desseminated intravascular coagulation?
blood clots block small vessels
how does DIC affect haemostasis?
excessive activation of tissue factor - therefore excessive coagulation
why can DIC lead to amputation?
deposition of fibrin in microcirculation
what is acquired haemophilia
inhibits factor VIII
who is acquired haemophilia prevalent in?
elderly pt with underlying malignant disease
