7 Flashcards
2 stages of hemostasis
- primary hemostasis–platelet plug2. secondary hemostasis–proteolytic clotting cascade; fibrin clot/mature thrombus
platelet characteristics
anucleatemegakaryocyte precursorlife span 6-8 days
prostaglandin responsible for platelet aggregation/activation
thromboxane (TxA2)made from AA–>cox 1 pathway
platelet MOA after endothelial injury
- adhere to exposed endothelial collagen via vWF2. activation which leads to granular release (TXA2, ADP) and conformational change exposing binding domains for fibrinogen3. recruitment4. aggregation
cascade model of coagulation INTRINSIC
XII converts XI activeXI with VIII, PL, Ca activate IXCOMMONIX activates X X with V, PL, Ca activate THROMBINthrombin converts fibrinogen to fibrinaPTT
cascade model of coagulation
TF +PL, Ca activate VIICOMMONVII activates XX with V, PL, Ca activate THROMBINthrombin converts fibrinogen to fibrinPT
clotting number of thrombin
II
theory behind cell based model of coagulation
- TF is primary physiologic activator/initiator2. coagulation is localized to and controlled by cell surfacesinitiation, amplification, propagation
normal inhibitors of platelet reactivity
Prostacyclin (PGI2)NOectoadenosine diphosphatase
Three natural anticoagulant pathways
antithrombin IIIactivated protein CTF inhibitor
MOA of antithrombin III
AT III binds and inactivates factor 10 of the common pathwayalso neutralizes other clotting factors, antiinflammatoryactivity of AT III is increased with the presence of heparin
MOA of activated protein C
activated protein C inhibits VII, Vdecreases thrombin formationenhances fibrinolysis
MOA TF inhibitor
inhibits TF of extrinsic pathway
fibrinolysis
dissolution of fibrin clotmain proteolytic enzyme = plasminogen –>plasmindegrades fibrin to FDP, FSPother enzyme: tissue type and urokinase type plasminogen activators
how is fibrinolysis controlled
plasminogen activator inhibitorsalpha antiplasminthrombin activator fibrinolysis inhibitor
cause of pseudothrombocytopenia
falsely low due to platelet aggregation and mis countingreported in 71% of feline blood samples
estimate of average platelet count on blood smear
platelets/HPF x 15,000
BMBT
buccal mucosal bleeding time–tests platelet fx/primary hemostasisN dog 1.7-4.2 minN cat 1.4-2.4 mininter/intraoperative variability up to 2 min
BMBT is prolonged with what diseases
thrombocytopeniathrombocytopathia (vWF disease)vasculopathy
what % of coagulation factors must be decr to have prolonged PT/aPTT
25-30% decreased prior to prolongation
vitamin K dependent coagulation factors
2, 7, 9, 107 has the shortest half life
what coagulation test to examine for bit K deficient animals
PT7 because of very short half life 4-6 hr
