Q

interpretation of mixing studies:

failure of the test to correct or a partial correction at 2 hours implies

A

failure of the test to correct or a partial correction at 2 hours implies that the patient has a circulating inhibitor protein (e.g. FVIII inhibitor, antiphospholipid antibodies, amyloid)

Q

vWF has two major functions:

A
  1. mediated adhesion of platelets to endothelium

2. stabilizes FVIII in the circulation and as such has a role in blood coagulation

Q

diagnosis of vWD:

  1. FVIII activity
  2. vWF antigen
  3. vWF functional assay
A
  1. FVIII activity- low if vWF-ag low b/c vWF stabilizes FVIII in plasma
  2. vWF antigen- normal range diffres w/ blood type

19
Q

sites of recurrent hemarthroses with hypertrophy of synovial sheath over time and painful arthritis

A

target joints

20
Q

hemophilia

  1. both characterized by
  2. occur
A
  1. characterized by spontaneous hemarthorses

2. occur w/in the first year of life

21
Q
  1. Severe hemophilia: measured factor levels of ____; spontaneous and trauma related bleeding
  2. Moderate hemophilia: factor levels of_____; bleeding with trauma and rare spontaneous bleeding
  3. Mild hemophilia: factor levels of _____; bleeding with surgery and trauma, no spontaneous bleeding
  4. Very mild hemophilia: factor levels of ____; bleeding with significant trauma
A
  1. Severe hemophilia: measured factor levels of <1%; spontaneous and trauma related bleeding
  2. Moderate hemophilia: factor levels of 1-5%; bleeding with trauma and rare spontaneous bleeding
  3. Mild hemophilia: factor levels of 5- 25%; bleeding with surgery and trauma, no spontaneous bleeding
  4. Very mild hemophilia: factor levels of 25-50%; bleeding with significant trauma
22
Q

diagnosis of hemophilia:

  1. Pt
  2. PTT
  3. mixing studies
  4. factor assay
A
  1. Pt- normal
