Anticoagulants Flashcards
Which factors are glycoproteins
8, 5, 3, Protein S
Which factors are serine proteases
7, 9, 10, 11, 12
2
Protein C (Anticoagulant)
Links factors to anionic lipids
Ca++
Factor 5 Leiden is resistant to ______
Activated protein C
All factors except ___ are made in the ____
vWF, liver
vWF is produced where?
Endoth., subendoth., Megakaryocytes
Tissue factor pathway aka
extrinsic pathway
Collagen exposure initiates this pathway
Intrinsic
TF is expressed where?
Factor 7 resides where?
TF = On surface of cells outside of (but near) blood vessels
Factor 7 = In blood
7 activates…
10
Calcium’s role in 7/10 interaction with tissue factor
Ca++ located near the site of binding, helps interaction with phospholipid membranes
___, ___, and ___ bind to collagen on the wall of damaged blood vessels
What are the next 4 steps?
- Factor 7
- HMWK
- Prekallikrein
- Factor 7 cleaves: Prekallikrein –> kallikrein AND cleaves 11->11a
- Kallikrein activates more 7
- HMWK anchors kallikrein and 11a to damaged surface
- Factor 9 binds factor 8a on platelet surface —-> Activates factor 10
Thrombins two effects
- Converts fibrinogen –> fibrin (insoluble)
- Activates factor 13 (which in turn cross links fibrin)
Prothrombin time
recalcified blood and thromboplastin
- Clots in 12-14 seconds
- Monitor oral anticoag therapy
aPTT
Recalcified blood + phospholipid
- Clots in 24-36s
- Monitor heparin therapy
BT
2-9 minutes
Abnormal when defect is in platelet number or function
Prolonged PT
oral anticoag
defect in extrinsic or common
Prolonged aPTT
Intrinsic/common
(heparin)
INR =
(Patient PT / Control PT)C
C= international sensitivity index that corrects for different thromboplastin reagents
Therapeutic range should = 2-3
(except for recurrent PE or prosthetic valves, 3-4)
All coumarin derivatives are _____
water soluble lactones
Warfarin is most common (racemic mixture, S isomer is most potent)
