Bleeding disorder Flashcards
what can give a false low platelet count
platelet clumps/fibrin strands
what test is used for primary homeostasis test
platelet function analysis
how does platelet function analysis work
platelet agonist to interrogate function
what does partial thromboplastin time test
intrinsic and common pathway
what does PT prothrombin time test for
extrinsic and common pathway
what is the coagulation test results for petechiae and purpura
normal
how can drugs damage vessel wall
leukocytoclastic vasculitis
scruvy
vitamin C deficiency
Ehlers-Danlos syndrome
inherited collagen abnormality
Cushing syndome
excessive steroid
protein wasting
loss of vascular support
Henoch-Schonlein Purpura
systemic hypersensitivity disease in which circulating immune complexes deposit in the vessels
Hereditary Hemorrhagic Telangiectasia
dilated tortuous vessels with thin walls
Amyloid infiltration
weakens vessel walls
thrombocytopenia
deficiency of platelets in blood
at what number does thrombocytopenia a problem
less then 50,000
Coagulation test results for someone who is thrombocytopenia
normal PT and PTT
platelet count decreased
what is an etiology for thrombocytopenia
decreased production bone marrow
what are 2 examples of mechanical damage to platelets
prosthetic heart valves
malignant hypertension
immune thrombocytopenic purpura primary
idiopathic autoimmune platelet destruction
immune thrombocytopenic purpura secondary
identifiable etiology causing autoimmune platelet destruction
what organ contributes to peripheral destruction
spleen, splenomegaly
in chronic immune thrombocytopenic purpura what does the peripheral blood show
thmobocytopenia with giant platelets reflected by increased MPV
what is the immune’s part in chronic immune thrombocytopenic purpura
IgG against platlet antigens, platelet opsonized and removed by spleen
what is the size of the spleen in chronic immune thrombocytopenic purpura
normal size
bone marrow for chronic immune thrombocytopenic purpura
INCREASED NUMBER OF MEGAKARYOCYTES WITH LEFT SHIFTED MATURATION
acute immune thrombocytopenic purpura preceded by what
viral infections
