bleeding only after trauma

30
Q

XIII deficiency

A

severe neonatal bleeding

31
Q

Bernard-Soulier Syndrome

A

Abnormal Ib (binds vWF)
Abnormal adhesion
Big platelets
Severe bleeding

32
Q

Glanzmann Thrombasthenia

A

No IIb-IIIa (what binds fibrinogen)
No aggregation
Severe bleeding

33
Q

Gray Platelet Syndrome

A

No alpha granules
Big, empty platelets
Mild bleeding

34
Q

Delta granule deficiency

A

No delta granules

Can be part of syndrome (e.g., Chediak-Higashi)

35
Q

alpha granules

A

fibrinogen, vWF

36
Q

delta granules

A

serotonin, ADP, ca2+

37
Q

DIC TYMK

A

Lots of underlying disorders
Something triggers coagulation, causing thrombosis
Platelets and factors get used up, causing bleeding
Microangiopathic hemolytic anemia

38
Q

Causes of DIC can be separated into

A

dumpers (into vascular system to set off cascade)

rippers (rip up endothelium)

39
Q

DIC causes: Dumpers

A

Obstetric complications
Adenocarcinoma
Acute promyelocytic leukemia

40
Q

DIC causes: Rippers

A

Bacterial sepsis
Trauma
Burns
Vasculitis

41
Q

Causes of DIC to remember

A
Malignancy
OB complications
Sepsis
Trauma
(MOST)
42
Q

Symptoms of DIC

A

Insidious or fulminant
Multi-system disease
Thrombosis and/or bleeding

43
Q

Lab Tests in DIC

A

INR, PTT, TT prolonged
FDPs: increased
Fibrinogen: decreased

44
Q

Treatment of DIC

A

Treat underlying disorder

Support with blood products

45
Q

Idiopathic thrombocytopenia Purpura TYMK

A
Antiplatelet antibodies
Acute vs. chronic 
Diagnosis of exclusion
Steroids or splenectomy
Remember how different this is from DIC
46
Q

Pathogenesis of ITP

A

Autoantibodies to platelets = GP IIb-IIIa or Ib
Bind to platelets (yummy!)
Splenic macrophages eat platelets

47
Q

two kinds of itp

A

chronic

acute

48
Q

chronic ITP

A

Adult women
Primary or secondary
Insidious: nosebleeds, easy bruising
Danger: bleeding into brain

49
Q

acute ITP

A

Children
Abrupt; follows viral illness
Usually self-limiting
May become chronic

50
Q

Lab tests ITP

A
Signs of platelet destruction:
- thrombocytopenia
- normal/increased megakaryocytes
- big platelets 
INR/PTT normal
No specific (ab) diagnostic test for ITP
51
Q

Other causes of thrombocytopenia

A
Aplastic anemia
Bone marrow replacement
Big spleen
Consumptive processes (DIC, TTP, HUS)
Drugs
52
Q

tx of ITP

A

Glucocorticoids
Splenectomy
Intravenous immunoglobulin

53
Q

Thrombotic microangiopathies all have

A

thrombi, thrombocytopenia, and MAH

54
Q

Thrombotic microangiopathies include

A

TTP and HUS (can be hard to distinguish)

Different from DIC

55
Q

thrombotic microangiopathies = something triggers _______

A

platelet activation

56
Q

Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura TYMK

A

Pentad: MAHA, thrombocytopenia, fever, neurologic defects, renal failure
Deficiency of ADAMTS13
Big vWF multimers trap platelets
Plasmapheresis or plasma infusions

57
Q

pentad TTP

A

MAHA, thrombocytopenia, fever, neurologic defects, renal failure

58
Q

TTP deficiency in

A

ADAMTS13

59
Q

Pathogenesis TTP

A

Just-released vWF is unusually large (UL)
UL vWF causes platelet aggregation
ADAMTS13 cleaves UL vWF into less active bits!
TTP is due to ADAMTS13 deficiency

60
Q

Clinical findings in TTP

A
Hematuria, jaundice (MAHA)
Bleeding, bruising (thrombocytopenia)
Fever
Bizarre behavior (neurologic deficits)
Decreased urine output (renal failure)
61
Q

Treatment of TTP

A

Acquired TTP: plasmapheresis

Hereditary TTP: plasma infusions

62
Q

Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome TYMK

A

MAHA and thrombocytopenia
Epidemic (E. coli) vs. non-epidemic
Toxin (or ?) damages endothelium
Treat supportively

63
Q

Pathogenesis of HUS has 2 main causes

A

Epidemic

Non-epidemic

64
Q

HUS epidemic pathogenesis

A

E. coli O157:H7 (raw hamburger)
Makes nasty toxin (shiga or shiga-like)
Injures endothelial cells

65
Q

HUS non-epidemic pathogenesis

A

Defect in complement factor H (protective)
Inherited or acquired
How does this activate platelets?

66
Q

HUS epidemic associated with usually

A

E. coli O157:H7

67
Q

A

Supportive care
Dialysis
NOT antibiotics (may increase toxin release!)
