7.1: Disorders of the Coagulation System Flashcards
is defined as any single or multiple coagulation factor or platelet deficiency
Coagulopathy
Accounts for most instances of fatal hemorrhage
Trauma-Induced Coagulopathy
Is triggered by the combination of injury-related acute inflammation, hypothermia, acidosis, and hypoperfusion (elements of systemic shock)
Trauma-Induced Coagulopathy
Resembles the pathophysiology of TTP
Trauma-Induced Coagulopathy
Is defined as:
- Blood loss exceeding total blood volume within 24 hours
- Loss of 50% blood volume within a 3 hour period
- Blood loss exceeding 150 mL/min
- Blood loss that necessitates plasma and platelet transfusions
Massive Hemorrhage
is the key TIC management component
Plasma
Liver Disease Coagulopathy:
are a complication of chronic alcohol cirrhosis
Esophageal varices
Liver Disease Coagulopathy:
occurs in liver disease associated thrombocytopenia
Mucocutaneous bleeding
Liver Disease Coagulopathy:
is the consequence of procoagulant dysfunction and deficiency
Anatomic bleeding
serves as the sensitive early marker in Liver Disease Coagulopathy: Procoagulant deficiency
Factor VII
is a more specific marker of liver disease than deficient factors II, VII, IX, and X (used in conjunction with the factor VII assay
Factor V
fibrinogen is coated with excessive sialic acid (in moderately to severely diseased liver)
Dysfibrinogenemia
fibrinogen may fall to this level in end-stage liver disease
<100 mg/dL
Treatment to Resolve Liver Disease-Related Hemorrhage
- Oral or intravenous vitamin K therapy
- Plasma transfusion
Is often associated with platelet dysfunction and mild to moderate mucocutaneous bleeding (anemia and thrombocytopenia)
Chronic Renal Failure and Hemorrhage
Fibrin deposits in renal microvasculature reduce glomerular function
Chronic Renal Failure and Hemorrhage
Guanidinosuccinic acid or phenolic compounds coat the platelets
Chronic Renal Failure and Hemorrhage
What have been detected in urine in Nephrotic Syndrome and Hemorrhage
Clotting factors II, VII, IX, X, XII, antithrombin, and protein C
disrupts the vitamin K epoxide reductase and vitamin K quinone reductase reactions
Warfarin (Coumadin)
the most common acquired autoantibodies
Autoanti-factor VIII
Factor Inhibitors other than Autoanti-factor VIII:
develop aslupus anticoagulant
Antiprothrombin antibodies
Factor Inhibitors other than Autoanti-factor VIII:
documented in patients receiving isoniazid treatment for tuberculosis
Autoanti-factor XIII
Factor Inhibitors other than Autoanti-factor VIII:
may arise spontaneously in autoimmune disorders and after exposure to bovine thrombin in fibrin glue
Autoantibodies to factor V
Factor Inhibitors other than Autoanti-factor VIII:
in amyloidosis
Autoanti-factor X
Leads to decreased platelet adhesion to injure vessel walls
von Willebrand Disease
vWF gene:
supports the receptor site for collagen and GP Ib/IX/V
Domain A
vWF gene:
provides a site that binds GP IIb/IIIA
Domain C
vWF gene:
provides the carrier site for factor VIII
Domain D
Quantitative vWF deficiency
Type 1 von Willebrand Disease
Qualitative vWF deficiency
Type 2 von Willebrand Disease
Type 2 von Willebrand Disease
Arises from an autosomal dominant point mutations in A2 and D1 structural domains of the vWF molecule
Subtype 2A
Type 2 von Willebrand Disease
vWF is susceptible to ADAMTS-13
Subtype 2A
Type 2 von Willebrand Disease
Mutations within the A1 domain
Subtype 2B
Type 2 von Willebrand Disease
Raised affinity to GP Ib/IX/IV
Subtype 2B
Type 2 von Willebrand Disease
“Gain-of-function” mutation
Subtype 2B
Type 2 von Willebrand Disease
HMW-VWF multimers spontaneously bind to resting platelet
Subtype 2B
Type 2 von Willebrand Disease
a platelet mutation that raises GP Ib affinity for normal
HMW-VWF multimers
Subtype 2B, Platelet-type vWD (PT-VWD) or pseudo-vWD
Type 2 von Willebrand Disease
Possess poor platelet receptor binding despite generating a normal multimeric distribution pattern in electrophoresis
Subtype 2M
Type 2 von Willebrand Disease
Missence mutation in the D9 domain impairs the protein’s factor VIII binding site
Subtype 2N
Type 2 von Willebrand Disease
Factor VIII deficiency despite a normal vWF antigen concentration assay result, normal vWF activity, and a normal multimeric pattern
Subtype 2N
Type 2 von Willebrand Disease
Also known as Autosomal Hemophilia
Subtype 2N
Subtype 2N is also known as
Normandy Variant
“Null allele” vWF gene translation or deletion mutations
Type 3 von Willebrand Disease
Is the most rare form of vWD
Type 3 von Willebrand Disease
Partial quantitative deficiency of vWF
1
Qualitative deficiency of vWF
2
Decreased platelet-dependent vWF function and selective deficiency of high molecular weight multimers
2A
Increased affinity to platelet glycoprotein1B
2B
Decreased platelet dependent vWF function with high molecular weight multimers present
2M
Markedly decreased binding of factor VIII to vWF
2N
Complete deficiency of vWF
3
Standard VWD test panel
A. VWF:Ag (quantitative)
B. VWF:RCo assay
C. Factor VIII assay
Standard VWD test panel:
Most prominent member of the primary VWD laboratory profile
VWF:Ag (quantitative)
Standard VWD test panel:
Uses Ristocetin and it unfolds the VWF molecule and reduces repelling negative charges, enabling HMW-VWF multimers to bind reagent platelet membrane GP Ib/IX/V receptors
VWF:RCo assay
Standard VWD test panel:
May parallel VWF:Ag in subtypes 2A, 2B, and 2M, but are markedly reduced in subtype 2N.
Factor VIII assay
Von Willebrand Disease Treatment:
- PRICE (protection, rest, ice, compression, elevation)
are congenital single-factor deficiencies marked by anatomic soft tissue bleeding
Hemophilias
used to detect female carriers of hemophilia A
Ratio of FVIII activity to VWF:Ag concentration
Also called Christmas disease
Hemophilia B
Also called Rosenthal syndrome, Factor XI deficiency
Hemophilia C
More than half of the cases have been described in Ashkenazi Jews
Hemophilia C
patients form weak (non-crosslinked) clots that dissolve within 2 hours when suspended in 5M Urea solution (traditional factor XIII assay)
