Anticoagulants Flashcards
Factor I (Made)
Fibrinogen (Liver) - “Threads”
Factor II (Made)
Prothrombin (Liver) “Activator”
Factor III (Made)
Tissue Factor or Thromboplastin (vascular walls)
Factor IV (Made)
Calcium (Diet)
Factor V (Made)
Proaccelerin (liver)
Factor VI (Made)
NOT ASSIGNED
Factor VII (Made)
Proconvertin (liver) - Has shortest half-life
Factor VIII (Made)
Antihemophilic Factor (Liver)
VIII:vWF
Factor 8 with von Willibrands Factor
von Willibrands Factor is Made in
Vascular Endothelium/Endothelial Cells
Factor IX
Christmas Factor (Liver)
Factor X
Stuart-Prower Factor (liver)
Factor XI
Plasma Thromboplastin Antecedent (Liver)
Factor XII
Hageman Factor (Liver)
Factor XIII
Fibrin Stabilizing Factor (LIver) - “GLUE”
Which factors are Vitamin K dependent?
II, VII, IX, X (2, 7, 9, 10)
Zymogen
Compounds that are inactivated and become activated. All the factors in the clotting cascade.
The Zymogens of the Intrinsic Pathway include:
XII, XI, IX, VIII:vWF, IV (12, 11, 9, 8, 4 and vWF) $12/11.98
The Zymogens of the Extrinsic Pathway include:
VII, III, IV (7, 3, 4) - 37cents
The Zymogens of the Common Pathway include:
I, II, V, X, XIII (1, 2, 5, 10, 13); There is ONE (I) common pathway to form CLOTS, a five letter word, (V). 5 x 2(II) = 10 (X). And 13 because that’s a lucky number!
The five natural Anticoagulants are:
Prostacyclin Antithrombin Heparan Sulfate Proteoglycans Protein C Tissue Factor Pathway Inhibitor
Prostacyclin
Is an Arachidonic acid metabolite
made by endothelial cels
Inhibit platelet aggregation
Antithrombin III
Plasma protein, Inhibits coag factors of the intrinsic and common pathways
Heparan Sulfate Proteoglycans
Made by endothelial cells
Stimulate Antithrombin
Protein C
Activated by Thrombin
Degrades Cofactors Va and VIIIa (5&8)
Diminishes Activation of Prothrombin (II) and Factor X.
Tissue Factor Pathway Inhibitor
Plasma lipoprotein
Binds to Xa
the Xa-TFPI inhibits factor VIIa
Mnemonic for the Common pathway
The final common pathway can be purchased at the FIVE (V) and DIME (X) for ONE (I) or TWO (II) dollars on the 13th (XIII) of the month) - (10, 5, 2, 1 and 13)
Factor IIa (Thrombin) Activates which cofactors
V, VII, VIII, XI, XIII (5, 8, 7, 11 and 13)
