Blood 2: Drugs Acting on the Blood and Blood Elements Flashcards
Anti-coagulants are drugs are used to modify the cascade either when there is a ______ in coagulation or when there is ______ coagulation.
defect, unwanted
Examples of Anticoagulants:
- Heparin and LMWHs
❖ Dalteparin
❖ Enoxaparin - Warfarin and Coumarin Derivates
❖ Dicumarol
❖ Acenocoumarol
List the steps of the clotting cascade
Different drugs act during different stages of the cascade.
Learn sights of action.
Inhibition of __________ is a key role in producing anticoagulant effects.
thrombin
Thrombin is a platelet ________.
activator
List the three steps of platelet aggregation.
How do these drugs affect the cascade?
These drugs have advantages over warfarin.
Dabigatran is a very promising drug. It is mostly used in humans and doses for animals are extrapolating.
Thrombin and Factor Xa Inhibitors are used on what species?
Factor Xa = Dogs, cats
Thrombin inhibitors = Dogs
What are the pros of Factor Xa Inhibitors?
▪ The PKs are ___________
▪ No ____________ is required
▪ Not affected by _________ changes
▪ Less ____-___ interaction (some molecules from ____ can influence coag factors produced).
▪ The PKs are predictable
▪ No monitoring is required
▪ Not affected by dietary changes
▪ Less drug-drug interaction (some molecules from diet can influence coag factors produced).
What are the cons of Factor Xa Inhibitors?
▪ ______ half-life
▪ Inability to _______ the bleeding
(new agent:_______)
▪Short half-life
▪ Inability to reverse the bleeding
(new agent: Andexanet)
What are the pros of Thrombin Inhibitor drugs?
Pros:
▪ Less drug-drug interaction (human)
▪ Reversal agent: Idarucizumab
What are the cons of Thrombin Inhibitor drugs?
▪ Adverse effects (bleeding)
▪ GI problems
List two examples of Factor Xa inhibitor drugs.
❖ Rivaroxaban
❖ Apixaban
List two examples of Thrombin inhibitor drugs.
❖ Dabigatran
Hemophilia is an _________ disorder, in which the blood does not _____ due to _________ clotting factors.
inherited, clot, insufficient
How is Hemophilia diagnosed?
Blood test measures how long it takes for blood to form a clot
Coagulation time test
How do you treat Hemophilia?
1. Blood ____________: Fresh frozen _______ (FFP) is the fluid portion of blood that contains all __________ factors. _____________ prepared from FFP, contains large amount of Factor ____ (_______________ factor).
They do not contain RBCs that have ______, ________ reaction is minimal.
Multiple transfusions throughout their _______.
Not _______ but with proper care, animal with hemophilia can live long and normal life. Do not want to ____ animal.
- Blood transfusion: Fresh frozen plasma (FFP) is the fluid portion of blood that contains all coagulation factors
Cryoprecipitate prepared from FFP, contains large amount of
Factor VIII (antihemophilia factor)
They do not contain RBCs that have antigens, immune reaction is minimal
Multiple transfusions throughout their lifetimes
Not curable but with proper care, animal with hemophilia can live long and normal life. Do not want to breed animal.
Hemophilia A: lack (missing or defective) of factor _____.
- Genetic = ?
- the most _______ bleeding disorder.
- This is the most _____ form of the disease.
VIII, sex-linked –> carried in X
chromosome, inherited, severe
If female carries mutant and one normal gene, she will not have hemophilia. But she is a carrier. So she can pass this mutated X chromosome with mutated gene to son and daughter, but to son which has XY chromosome, Y chromosome does not have this gene so there is no protection and Male is hemophillic. More often HA is presented in males and rarely in females.
Symptoms of Hemophilia A:
▪ Spontaneously bleeding into ______ or _____ (________)
▪ Spontaneously bleeding under the ____ (__________)
▪ Hemorrhages into _____ or ________ cavity (can be _____)
▪ An _________ ________ from surgery site
muscles, joints, swelling, skin, hematoma, chest, abdominal, fatal, excessive bleeding
How is Hemophilia A diagnosed?
▪ During ______ or having ______
▪ In young animals who have extreme bleeding after _______ procedures (spay/neuter, vaccines)
▪ Abnormal bleeding of the _____
▪ Puppies and kittens who have severe deficiency of Factor ____
may be ________ or die _______ after the birth
surgery, trauma, routine, gums, VIII, stillborn, shortly
Factor VIII is a co-factor of Factor ____
for activation of Factor _____.
IX, X
Hemophilia B: lack (missing or defective) of Factor ____ (_______ Factor)
- genetic
IX, Christmas, Sex linked gene of X chromosomes. Females are carriers, symptomatic.
Symptoms of Hemophilia B:
▪ The same as HA but _____ disease
▪ ___________ bleeding into the ______, _________, or _______
▪ Not noticed until they become ______ Less _______ severe.
milder, Spontaneous, thorax, abdomen, brain, emergent, clinically
Which breeds of dogs and cats are susceptible to developing HB?
Labrador Retrievers
German Shepherds
Mixed-breed dogs
British short-haired cats
Siamese mix cats
Over 25 dog breeds can have HB.
Hemophilia C: an extremely rear deficiency of Factor ____.
XI, which is in chromosome 4 and is not sex related.
Symptoms of Hemophilia C:
▪ Bleeding is induced by _______ or ______
▪ Bleeding can be delayed for up to ? ________ in showing symptoms
trauma, surgery, 4 days, Duration
Which dog breeds are susceptible to Hemophilia C?
