Bleeding disorders Flashcards
4 steps in stopping bleeding
- promary hemostasis - platelets and VWF
- secondary - coagulation cascade
- generate thrombin
- form fibrin clot - clot stabilization
- factor 13 and thrombin activator - healing
what is center of cascade and rate limiting step
factor 10
what is common pathway
10+5> 2 (prothrombin (2) becomes thrombin (2a)> fibrinogen to fibrin (clot)
what is path of extrinsic
7+tissue factor to activate 10
what is intrinsic pathway
HMWK and prekallikrein>12>11>9+8>10
what are contact factors
- prekallikrein
- HMWK
- Factor 12
NOT needed to control bleeding
what are 2 tests and what do they test?
- protrombin time (INR) - extrinsic and common
2. activated partial thromboplastin time (PTT) - int and extrinsic
what is INR and what is is designed for
standardized PT
- measure for warfarin
2 general types of coagulation factors
- non-enzymatic types
- 5, 8, and TF - zymogens
- 2,7,9,10 - all K dependend
where are most factors made and 4 exeptions
liver
- tissue plasminoggen activator (tPA)
- VWF
- thrombomodulin
- 8 is made in liver but also endothelium
what is factor with shortest half life
7, then 5+8
where does coag occur
on membranes with expose phospholipids
- not resting cells
what is 1 inherited disorder of primary hemostasis
von willbrand disease
what is 2 inherited disorder of secondary hemostasis
- hemophilia
2. 11 def.
what is 3 acquired disorder of primary hemostasis
- drugs!
- thrombocytopenia
- uremia
what is 4 acquired disorder of secondary hemostasis
- DRUGs
- liver dis
- DIC
- vit K def
what is best predictor of bleeding disorder
bleeding Hx
what is VWF
- synthesized in endothelial cells
- platelet adhesion(to wall) and aggregation (to each other)
3 clinical components of VW disease
- bleeding
- fam Hx
- lab results
2 types of VW bleeds
- mucocutaneous
- menorhhagia
- epistaxis
- bruiding - musculoskeletal
what is familial pattern
autosomal inheritance
3 classes of VW disease
- mild/moderate quant. traits
- qualitative traits
- severe qual traits
4 lab findings in VW dis.
- normal CBC and PTT/INR
- low VWF antigen
- low VWF cofactor
- factor 8 activity decreased
treatments of VW dis.
medical - desmopressin - transfusions - OCP - topic agents gyne - hormonal IUD - endo ablation
