After midterm Flashcards
thrombocytopenia
- lack of platelets
- cause of various hemorrhange formation
normal thrombocyte number
300,000 mm
Von Willebrand disease
- genetic disorder
- cant produce von willbrand factor, no platelet aggregation
- one or both parents have it
- abdominal bleeding w pain
- menorrhagia in women
hemorrhagic gastroduodenitis
-black stool
menorrhagia
-dramatic loss of blood during menstration
metrorrhagia
- leakage of blood from uterus
- usually sign of uterine cancer
hemophilia A
- classic
- non production of proconvertin XII
hemophilia B
- christmas disease
- nonproduction of christmas factor
hemophliia
- genetic
- only in men
- parents do not have
- passed from mother
- leakage of blood in the form of hematoma even with small injuries
hemoarthrosis
- hematomas within the joints
- esp knee
- iron released from joint promotes DJD
Hemodynamic disorders
- arise from interruption of normal blood flow
- #1 cause of death in US
Thombosis
- formation of thrombus
- only occurs in vessel
- always originates from the vascular wall and always has a connection to vascular wall
blood clot
-can be formed inside or outside vessels
arterial system thrombus
- fast flow
- dense, small
venous system thrombus
- slow flow
- wide, large
Lines of Zahn
- thrombi characterized by visible and microscopic laminations
- pale layer platelets mixed w fibrin
- dark layers RBCs
2 major locations lines of zahn
aorta
heat (mitral valve stenosis)
-usually post mortem
turbulent blood flow
- any interruption of parallel laminar blood flow
- increases platelet contact with the vessel walls which can trigger activation
factors predisposing thrombsis
- endothelial damage
- exposure of membrane collagen to blow flow
- hemodynamic stress
- hypertension
- atherosclerosis
- iatrogenic thrombosis - flow abnormalities
- blood hypercoagulation
- birth control pills (#1)
hemodynamic stress
-normal wear and tear of blood vessels
hypertension as cause for thrombosis
increase the resistance within blood vessels increasing the hemodynamic stress rate
atherosclerosis as cause for thrombosis
- formation of plaques within blood vessels, which causes increase resistance to or turbulent blood flow, can promote platelet activation
- affects larger arteries
- different than ateriosclerosis
- 50% all death US
iatrogenic thrombosis
- usually due to medical treatment from continuous intavenous injections into veins
- leads to obliteration of vein
Artery flow abnormalities
- reduction in rate of blood flow or stasis
- decreased rate causes disrupted axial blood flow, platelets to move to periphery of vessels an becomes activated (vWf)
causes of atery flow abnormalities
- cardiac damage
- reduced pumping ability
- rheumatic heart disease
- MI
- increased blood viscosity
- polycythemia
Vein flow abnormalities
- physical inactivity(decreased muscular contraction required for flow)
- varicose veins
- reduction in rate of blood flow
- turbulent blood flow
Varicose Veins
- tortuosity, prevents closure of valves because the walls of the veins separate and the valves are not effective and flow goes without any restriction, increased hydrostatic pressure in lower leg veins
- predisposing weakness of vein tone (congenital)
- inactivity
- vein compression(increase abdominal fat)
- treatment is veins removed or burned
- con be prone to burst
blood hypercoagulation
- hyperactivity of clotting factors
- extensive burns
- kidney disease
- heart failure
- cancer
- infectious disease
- birth control pills (#1)
birth control pills cause hypercoagulation
- decreased ability to prevent atherosclerosis
- endocrine imbalance
- hypercoagulation
- difficulty becoming pregnant after stopping
- increased risk cervical cancer 7-8x
sequela
pathological consequence of a particular event
5 parts of sequela thrombosis
1- resolution 2-organization 3-recanalization 4-propagation 5-infarction 6-embolism
resolution (sequla thromosis)
- most benign
- activation of fibrinolytic system
- thrombus dissolved
- TIA
TIA
- occur due to fibrynolytic effects
- all stroke symptoms, lasts seconds
- normal function after attack
blood loss to brain before damage
more than 15 min = brain damage
organization (sequela thrombosis)
- phagocytic digestion of thrombus
- usually 2-3 days post formation and development of CT where thrombus was on vascular wall
Recanalizaition (sequla thrombosis)
- dissolution of thrombus in peices, forming canals thru thrombus
- endothelial tissue is formed around thrombi canals
- deceased tissue not repaired
propagation
- enlargement of exisiting thrombus
- usually within veins due to slow flow
- can be extremely large
- 90% in deep veins of leg
infarction (sequela thrombosis)
- process in which an infarct is formed
- major cause of death in US
infarct
-zone of necrosis due to oxygen deficiency
