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
