Bleeding Disorders Flashcards
Clinical features platelet bleeding
Superficial (skin)
Petechiae (bigger areas = purpura)
Spontaneous
Clinical features factor bleeding
Deep (joints)
Big bleeds
Trauma
Von Willebrand Disease TYMK
Most common hereditary bleeding disorder
Autosomal dominant
vW factor decreased (or abnormal)
Variable severity
most common hereditary bleeding disorder
VW disease
most common factor disorder
hemophilia (VW is not considered a factor disorder)
inheritance VWD
Autosomal dominant
von willebrand factor
Huge multimeric protein
Decreased or abnormal in vW disease
von willebrand factor function
Glues platelets to subendothelium
Carries factor VIII
von willebrand factor made by
Made by megs and endothelial cells
von willebrand disease is a platelet/factor disorder
platelet - but if really bad, because carries factor VIII, can look like a factor disorder as well
Types of vW disease
Type 1 (70%): Decreased vWF Type 2 (25%): abnormal vWF Type3 (5%): no vWF
symptoms of vW disease
Mucosal bleeding in most patients
Deep joint bleeding in severe cases
Lab Tests in Von Willebrand Disease
Bleeding time: prolonged PTT: prolonged (severe) (“corrects” with mixing study) INR: normal vWF level decreased (normal in type 2) Platelet aggregation studies abnormal
What binds to vWF
GP Ib on membrane of platelet (glycoprotein)
what doesn’t wF disease work with in platelet aggregation test?
Ristocetin
treatment of vW disease
DDAVP (raises VIII and vWF levels)
Cryoprecipitate (contains vWF and VIII)
Factor VIII
Hemophilia A TYMK
Most common factor deficiency X-linked recessive in most cases (30% are random mutations) Factor VIII level decreased Variable amount of “factor” bleeding
Most common factor deficiency
Hem A
Hem A inheritance
X-linked recessive
what factor is decreased in Hem a
Factor VIII
Symptoms Hem A
Severity depends on amount of VIII Typical “factor” bleeding deep joint bleeding prolonged bleeding after dental work Rarely, mucosal hemorrhage
Lab Tests in Hem A
INR, TT, platelet count, bleeding time: normal (these are platelet issues, hem is a fibrin issue)
PTT: prolonged (“corrects” with mixing study)
Factor VIII assays: abnormal
DNA studies: abnormal
Treatment Hem A
DDAVP (release stores of vWF and VIII)
Factor VIII
Hem B TYMK
Factor IX level decreased
Much less common than hemophilia A
Same inheritance pattern
Same clinical and laboratory findings
what factor decreased in Hem B
Factor IX
Inheritance pattern Hem B
x-linked recessive (30% lab findings)
clinical findings Hem B
Severity depends on amount of VIII Typical “factor” bleeding deep joint bleeding prolonged bleeding after dental work Rarely, mucosal hemorrhage
