23
Q

Bernard Soulier Syndrome

A

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

24
Q

Glanzmann Thrombasthenia

A

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

25
Q

Gray Platelet syndrome

A

No a-granules - why gray
Big, empty platelets
Mild bleeding

26
Q

Delta granule deficiency

A

No d-granules

Can be part of syndrome (Chediak-Higashi)

27
Q

Acquired Bleeding disorders (2)

A
  1. DIC

2. Idiopathic Thrombocyopenic Purpura

28
Q

Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation (DIC)

A

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

29
Q

Causes of DIC

A

Dumpers and Rippers

30
Q

Dumpers

A

OB complications
Adenocarcinoma
AML-3 (granules are pro coag)

31
Q

Rippers

A

Bacterial sepsis
Trauma
Burns
Vasculitis

32
Q

What are the big 4 for DIC (hint.. MOST)

A

Malignancy
Obstetric Complications
Sepsis
Trauma

33
Q

Symptoms of DIC

A

Can be nsidious or fulminant
Multisystem disease
Thrombosis and or bleeding

34
Q

Lab tests in DIC

A

INR, PTT, TT prolonged
FDPs increased
Fibrinogen decreased

35
Q

Treatment of DIC

A

Treat underlying disorder

Support with blood products

36
Q

Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura

A

Antiplatelet antibodies
Acute vs chronic
Diagnosis of exclusion
Steroids or splenectomy

37
Q

Pathogenesis of ITP

A

Autoantibodies to GP IIb-IIa or Ib
Bind to platelets
Macrophages eat platelets

38
Q

Two kinds of ITP

A

Chronic or Acute

39
Q

Chronic ITP

A

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

40
Q

Acute ITP

A

Children
Abrupt following illness
Usually self limiting
May become chronic

41
Q

Lab tests in ITP

A
  • Signs of platelet destruction : thrombocytopenia, normal/increased megakaryocytes, big platelets
  • INR/PTT normal
  • No specific diagnostic test
42
Q

Thrombocytopenia

A

Caused by many things - aplastic anemia, bone marrow replacement, big speen, consumptive processes (DIC, TTP, HUS), drugs

43
Q

Treatment of ITP

A

glucocorticoids
splenectomy
IV immunoglobulin

44
Q

Thrombotic microangiopathies

A

All have thrombi, thrombocytopenia and MAHA
Include TTP and HUS
Hard to distinguish from TTP from HUS

45
Q

in thrombotic microangiopathies something triggers ______

A

platelet aactivation

46
Q

Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpora

A

Pentad: MAHA, thrombocytopenia, renal failure, fever, neurologic defects

47
Q

TTP deficiency

A

ADAMTS13

Big vWF aren’t cleaved, trap platelets

48
Q

How do deal with TTP

A

plasmapheresis or plasma infusions

49
Q

Brief pathogenesis of TTP

A

Just released vWF is unusually large (UL), causes vWF to aggregate. Usually ADAMTS13 cleaves into less active bits. TTP is deficient in ADAMTS13

50
Q

Clinical findings of TTP

A
Hematuria, jaundice (MAHA)
Bleeding, brusing (thrombocytopenia)
Fever
Decreased urine output (Renal Failure)
Bizarre behavior (Neurological defects)
51
Q

Treatment of TTP

A

Acquired: plasmapheresis
Hereditary: Plasma infusions

52
Q

Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome

A

MAHA and thrombocytopenia
Epidemic (e coli) vs. non epidemic
Toxin? damages epithelium
Treat supportively

53
Q

Pathogenesis of HUS - epidemic

A

E coli O157:H7 (raw hamburger)
Makes nasty toxin
Injures endothelial cells

54
Q

Pathogenesis of HUS - non epiodemic

A

Defect in complement factor H

Inherited or acquired

55
Q

Clinical findings in HUS - epidemic

A

Children and elderly
Bloodly diarrhea, renal failure
Fatal in 5% of cases

56
Q

Clinical findings in HUS - non epidemic

A

Renal failure
Relapsing remitting course
Fatal in 50% of cases

57
Q

Treatment of HUS

A

Supportive Care
Dialysis
Not antibiotics (increase toxin release)
