A

No delta granules

Associated with Chediak-Higashi syndrome

29
Q

What are the characteristics of Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation (DIC)?

A

Something triggers coagulation causing thrombosis

Platelets and factors get used up causing bleeding

30
Q

What is the major issue in DIC?

A

Microangiopathic Hemolytic Anemia

31
Q

What are the “Dumper” causes of DIC?

A

Dumper = coagulation substances are dumped into the blood
Obstetric complications
Adenocarcinoma
Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia

32
Q

What are the “Ripper” causes of DIC?

A
Ripper = Anything that will damage the endothelium
Bacterial Sepsis
Trauma
Burns
Vasculitis
33
Q

What are the top 4 causes of DIC?

A
MOST common causes of DIC:
Malignancy
Obstetric Complications
Sepsis
Trauma
34
Q

What are the symptoms of DIC?

A

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

35
Q

What lab tests are used to diagnose DIC and what are the expected values?

A

Prolonged INR, PTT, TT
Increased FDPs
Decreased Fibrinogen

36
Q

What is the treatment of DIC?

A

Treat underlying disorder while supporting with blood products

37
Q

What are the characteristics of Idiopathic Throbocytopenic Purpura?
