B3-049 Disorders of Coagulation Flashcards
VWF is synthesized from
endothelial cells (stored in Weibel Palade bodies)
platelets (stored in alpha granules)
multimers that vary in molecular weight make up
VWF
VWF is processed in the plasma by
ADAMTS-13
protease that cleaves ultra large VWF multimers into smaller sizes
ADAMTS-13
functions in platelet adhesion and stabilization of factor VIII

PFA-100 is screening test for which pathway
primary hemostasis
PTT is a screening test for which pathway
intrinsic
PT is a screening test for which pathway
extrinsic
causes of abnormal PT
liver disease
vitamin K deficiency
warfarin
how to calculate INR
common causes of abnormal PTT
diseases
hemophilia A and B
vW disease
heparin
severe liver disease
severe vitamin K deficiency
warfarin
causes of prolonged thrombin time
molecular level
Low fibrin
dysfibrinogenemia
thrombin inhibitors
fibrin monomer polymerization inhibitors
fibrin degradation can be quantified using
D-dimer
D dimer has [high/low] sensitvitiy
high for DIC
low for inhierited disorders of increased fibrinolysis
D dimer has [high/low] specificity
low
positive in any disorder that produces intravascular clot
D-dimer has a [high/low] negative predictive value
high for PE
