16
Q

how does immune thrombocytopenia purpura tend to present

A

In a child under 10 and often there is a history of a recent viral illness

17
Q

there is an isolated thrombocytopenia in what

A

immune thrombocytopenia purple

18
Q

mx for ITP

A

usually non but can give prednisolone, IV immunoglobulins

19
Q

Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura due to a deificnecy of

A

metalloproteinase ADAMTS13

20
Q

classic pentad in:- Fever
- Microangiopathic haemolytic anaemia (MAHA)
- Thrombocytopaenic purpura
- CNS involvement: headache, confusion, seizures
- AKI

21
Q

blood film can show what in TTP

A

schistocytes

22
Q

difference between TTP and DIC

A

coagulation screen will be normal in TTP, whereas it will be prolonged in DIC with low plasma fibrinogen

23
Q

what assay is diagnostic in TTP

A

low ADAMST13

24
what does fresh frozen plasma do
replace coagulation factors
25
what does cryoprecipitate replace
fibrinogen
26
in what system are platelets not activated
venous system
27
what is first line for DVT
apixaban or rivaroxaban
28
options for secondary prevention of DVT
warfarin, DOAC, LMWH
29
aetiology for what:- Factor V Leiden - Prothrombin 20210 mutation - Antithrombin deficiency - Protein C deficiency - Protein S deficiency
hereditary thrombophilias
30
some examples of when you might suspect herediatary thrombophilias
venous thromboses in under 45 recurrent venous thromboses
31
are thromboses arterial or venous in anti phospholipid syndrome
both
32
lived reticualris is what ? it can be seen in antiphospholipid syndrome
purplish, net like discolouration of the skin
33
at least one positive blood test on 2 occasions at least 12 weeks apart to diagnose anti phospholipid syndrome. the three are
1. anticardiolipin antibodies 2. anti-β2-GPI antibodies 3. positive lupus anticoagulant assay
