18
Q

Long closure time w/ Col/Epi and Col/ADP caused by:

A

Qualitative platelet disorders
Von Willebrand disease
Thrombocytopenia
Anemia

19
Q

____ more likely to cause mucocutaneous bleeding (epistaxis, menorrhagia, pectechia) than hematomas

A

Platelet abnormalities

20
Q

Thrombocytopenia =

A

decrease in number of platelets in peripheral circulation

21
Q

Mechanisms of causing thrombocytopenia:

A

Decreased platelet production
Splenic sequestration
Increased peripheral destruction of platelets

22
Q

Increased peripheral destruction of platelets causes
Non-immune destruction:

Immune destruction:

A
  1. Disseminated intravascular coagulation
  2. Microangiopathic hemolytic anemia: vasculitis
  3. Alloimmune destruction: maternal fetal incompatibility, after blood transfusion
  4. Drug inducted: absorption of drug on platelet surface –> ab formation –> platelet removed in liver and spleen
    Quinine
    Heparin: ab directed against heparin and platelet factor 4 –> platelet aggregation
23
Q

Acute immune thrombocytopenic purpura=
Typically in: (age, sex)
Associated w/:
Treatment:

A

Acute onset w/ severe thrombocytopenia

2-6 y/o, both M and F

Viral infection: cross reactivity of ab b/w viral infection and platelets

Steroids, IVIG, Rh immune globulin

24
Q

Chronic immune thrombocytopenic purpura =
Typically in: (age, sex)
Associated with:
Treatment:

A

Not as severe thrombocytopenia. Insidious onset w/ remissions and relapses

20-40 y/o, F

Other autoimmune disorders

Steroids, splenectomy, Rituximab

25
Q

Clinical presentation of thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (5)

A
Thrombocytopenia
Microangiopathic hemolytic anemia
Neurologic symptoms
Fever
Renal insufficiency
26
Q

Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura =

Etiology:

Treatment:

A

Deposition of platelet thrombi in small vessels –> schistocytes in peripheral blood

Deficiency of protease ADAMTS13 that cleaves von Willebrand multimers –> aggretate platelets –> deposit of thrombi

Plasmapheresis

27
Q

Drugs that induce platelet disorders:

A

Aspirin, indomethacin, NSAIDs

Clopidogrel (Plavix): block ADP receptor on platelets

28
Q
Hemophilia A = deficiency of \_\_\_\_
Genetics:
Clinical manifestation:
Lab evaluation:
Treatment:
A

Factor 8
Sex-linked: inversion mutation of X chromosome

Delayed bleeding from small wounds
Bleeding into joints, hematomas, hematuria
Joint destruction, muscle atrophy

Prolonged PTT, normal PT
Factor assay

Factor replacement

29
Q
Hemophilia B = deficiency of \_\_\_
Genetics:

Lab evaluation:
Treatment:

Factor 9
Sex-linked: point mutation

Mild hemophilia

Prolonged PTT, normal PT

Recombinant factor 9 replacement

30
Q

Factor 12 deficiency

A

Rare, benign

Increase PTT but no increase risk of bleeding

31
Q
Von Willebrand Disease =
Genetics:
Symptoms:
Lab evaluations:
Treatment:
A

Plasma deficiency of von Willebrand factor

Autosomal dominant

Mucocutaneous bleeding: epistaxis, menorrhagia, easy bruising

Inhibitors of coagulation level:

End result:

A

Extensive intravascular thrombin formation –> deposition of fibrin in microvasculature and thrombosis of small and medium sized vessels

Depleted coag factors
Inhibitors (antithrombin 3, protein C and S) consume and fail to control coagulation process

Ischemic tissue injury
Hemorrhage: consumption of clotting factors

35
Q

2 mechanisms for triggering acute DIC

A

Widespread release of tissue factor into blood
