Bleeding disorders Flashcards
normal platelet count
150-450k
50-100k platelet
high bleeding time
30-50k platelet
bruising with minor trauma
10-30k platelet
spontaneous bruising
menorrhagia
spontaneous bruising
gum and gut bleeding
nose bleeds
brain bleeds
thrombocytopenia
low platelets
GP1b
platelet receptor for vWF binding
GP2b3a
platelet receptor for fibrinogen binding
ITP
immune thrombocytopenia purpura
IgG from splenic plasma cells against platelet antigens
splenic macrophages clear antibody covered platelets
symptoms of ITP
petechiae
ecchymosis
treatment of ITP
corticosteroids IVIG splectomy TPO rituximab
acute ITP
kids
post viral infection or immunization
self limited
chronic ITP
female
NAT
neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia
IgG alloantibodies (HPA-1a) from mom cross placenta and coat fetal platelets
occurs in first child- mom produces antibodies to foreign fetal platelets
NAT treatment
corticosteroids
IVIG
platelet transfusion
labs for ITP
decreased platelets
normal PT/PTT
increased megakaryocytes
HIT
heparin induced thrombocytopenia
antibodies against factor 4 produced after exposure to heparin
leads to platelet activation and thrombosis
type 1 HIT
non immune mild thrombocytopenia rapid onset self resolving asymptomatic
type 2 HIT
immune severe thrmobocytopenia onset 4-14d stop heparin thromboembolic complications
labs for HIT
platelet activation tests
HIT antibody detection
treatment of HIT
stop heparin
thrombin inhibitors
drug induced thrombosis
antibodies made against platelets after exposure to a specific drugs
lead to widespread platelet activation and thrombosis
TTP
thrombotic thrombocytopenic purport
ADAMTS13 protease inactivated by IgG leading to large aggregates of vWF that activate platelets
TTP pentad
thrombocytopenia microangiopathic hemolytic anemia renal dysfunction neurologic disturbances fever
TTP thrombcytopenia
large platelets
increased megakaryocytes
