27
Q

What is the treatment for Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura?

Patients with Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome present first with?

A

Bloody diarrhea

31
Q

Patients with Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome present with what 3 main symptoms?

A

MAHA
Thrombocytopenia
Renal failure

32
Q

What is MAHA?

A

Microangiopathic Hemolytic Anemia

= Platelet aggregation causes passing RBCs to shear and create schistocytes

33
Q

What 2 platelet destruction disorders involve MAHA?

A

Thrombotic Thombocytopenic Purpura
Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome
= when platelet aggregation causes passing RBCs to shear and create schistocytes

34

40
Q

Platelet vs. coagulation disorders - depth of bleed

A
Platelet = superficial mucosal bleeding
Coagulation = deep soft tissue bleeding
41
Q

Platelet vs. coagulation disorders - petechiae?

A
Platelet = petechiae present
Coagulation = Minimal petechiae
42
Q

Platelet vs. coagulation disorders - bruise size

A
Platelet = small, superficial bruises
Coagulation = Large, deep bruises

Q

Platelet vs. coagulation disorders - hemarthroses?

A
Platelet = rare hemarthroses
Coagulation = common hemarthroses

Q

Platelet vs. coagulation disorders - time to bleed?

A
Platelet = bleeding after minor cuts
Coagulation = delayed bleeding after cuts
45
Q

Why is it important for circulating vWF to join factor VIII?

A

It takes VIII to the site of the platelet plug so that factor VIII can activate the coagulation cascade and further stabilize the clot
