17
Q

What are the two clinical features of hereditary hemorrhagic telangectasia

A

Telangectasia

Bleeding (epistaxis)

18
Q

Which thrombotic disorder presents with recurrent lower extremity thrombophlebitis and deep vein thrombosis, venous insufficiency and chronic leg ulcers?

A

Antithrombin III deficiency

19
Q

What is the treatment for AT III Deficiency?

A

Prophylactic treatment with anticoagulants

Heparin

20
Q

What does protein C do?

A

Inactivated factors V and VIII

21
Q

What does protein S do?

A

It’s a cofactors for protein C

22
Q

How do you treat protein C/S deficiency?

A

Warfarin

23
Q

What part of the coagulation cascade is disrupted in Factor V Leiden disease?

A

Factor V binding with Protein C to inactivate it

24
Q

What are the four associated features of antiphospholipid syndrome?

A

Thromboembolic phenomena
Miscarriage
Thrombocytopenia
Cerebral ischemia and recurrent stroke

25
Q

What are three tests/indicators of antiphospholipid syndrome?

A

Prolonged aPTT
Lack of correction in mixing studies using normal plasma
Neutralization of inhibitor with excess phospholipid

26
Q

What is the treatment for antiphospholipid syndrome?

A

Anticoagulation with SC heparin

Hydroxychloroquine

27
Q

Which three antineoplastic drugs can cause malignancy?

A

Tamoxifen
Bevacizumab
Thalidomide

28
Q

What is the most common cause of easy bruising?

A

Thrombocytopenia -decreased platelet numbers

29
Q

What is the term for antibodies interacting with platelet surfaces?

A

Immune thrombocytopenic purpura

30
Q

How do you treat DIC?

A

Correct the underlying problem

31
Q

Which disease shows normal aggregation to ADP, collagen, arachidonic acid, epinephrine but absent aggregation to restocetin?

A

Bernard-soulier syndrome

32
Q

A patient with advanced liver cirrhosis would show what platelet abnormalities? (4)

A

Thrombocytopenia
A prolonged PT
A prolonged PTT
Low Hgb

33
Q

What is a normal PT?

A

10-12

34
Q

What is a normal PTT?

A

30-45

35
Q

What does a mixing study used for?

A

To evaluated a prolonged aPTT or PT, to distinguish between a factor deficiency and a inhibitor.

If there is a isolated factor deficiency, the aPTT will correct with mixing

If there is lupus anticoagulant, the mixing and incubation will show no correction

Acquired factor VIII inhibitor - mixing will not correct.

Mixing will not correct with the presence of other inhibitors such as heparin, fibrin split products and paraproteins

36
Q

What is liskers signs?

A

Pain with percussion of the anteromedial tibia; not sensitive or specific for DVT

37
Q

What is lowenbergs sign?

A

Pain when a BP cuff is applied to the mid calf
