Q

What is Grey platelet syndrome?

A

Rare platelet disorder by lack of alpha granules and chemicals stored inside them so proteins cant stick to blood vessel wall or clump or repair injured site

Q

What is extrinsic blood coagulation?

A

fewer and rapid, initiated by TF leaking into blood from cells outside the blood stream
FVII activated by thrombin and FXa, FVIIa activates FX

12
Q

What is intrinsic blood coagulation?

A

More complex and slower - outside tissue damage is not needed e.g endothelial cell damage
FXII activates FXI releases bradykinin (vasodilator) from HMWK, activate FIX (serine protease) hydrolyses FX - leading to common pathway

Q

What is common pathway?

A

FXa cleaves prothrombin on surface, FV activated by thrombin, Fibrinogen to fibrin by thrombin, thrombin activates FXIII crosslinks fibrin clot

Q

What is fibrinolysis?

A

dissolves small inappropiate clots and dissolved clots at sites of repair, inactive plasminogen incorporated into clot activated to plasmin by body tissue substances like thrombin, plasmin digests fibrin threads and inactivates fibrinogen

18
Q

What is warfarin?

A

Vitamin K antagonist to prevent clotting factor activation

19
Q

What is EDTA?

A

Chelate calcium in donated blood

20
Q

What does Aspirin do?

A

Inhibits TxA2 synthesis

21
Q

What does Streptokinase do?

A

Activate t-PA

22
Q

What are blood groups?

A

Surface of RBCs containing range of glycoproteins and glycolipids which act as antigens

23
Q

What does Antigen A have?

A

Anti-b body

24
Q

What does Antigen B have?

A

Anti-A body

25
Q

What does Antigen a+b have?

A

Neither antibody

26
Q

What does Neither A or B antigen have?

A

Both antibodies

27
Q

What blood can Type A have?

A

A or O blood

CANT HAVE B or AB

28
Q

What blood can Type B have?

A

B or O blood

CANT have A or AB

29
Q

What blood can Type AB have?

A

Can have any type of blood - universal recipient

30
Q

What blood can Type O have?

A

Only O blood

Universal donor

31
Q

What is Rhesus?

A

fixed by your genes. If you’re rhesus positive (RhD positive), it means that a protein (D antigen) is found on the surface of your red blood cells. If you do not have the D antigen, you will be rhesus negative (RhD negative). Most people are rhesus positive .
Dont normally have Rh antibodies and develop after blood transfusion causes problems for later transfusions

32
Q

What is haemolytic new born disease?

A

is an alloimmune condition that develops in a fetus, when the IgG molecules (one of the five main types of antibodies) produced by the mother pass through the placenta.

33
Q

What is Anemia symptons?

A 
Iron deficiency, Megaloblastic (Large rbc)
Pernicious (lack of heamopoises)
Haemorrhagic
Haemolytic
Thalassemias (haemoglobin problems)
34
Q

What is sickle cell anemia?

A

Stiff angular RBC they stick to small capillaries, long inflexible chains, Autosomal recessive inheritance, Low potassium kills malaria

35
Q

What is Haemophilia?

A

is a mostly inherited genetic disorder that impairs the body’s ability to make blood clots, a process needed to stop bleeding

36
Q

What are Leukaemias?

A

Production of maligant WBC cells , supress production of ALL normal cells in RBM

37
Q

What are Oncogenes?

A

Cause malignancy when mutated leading to their activation (growth factors, receptors, dna binding proteins)

38
Q

What are Tumour supressor genes?

A

Cause malignancy when mutated leading to their suppress growth

39
Q

What is acute lymphoblastic leukemia?

A

Short onset from lymphoid stem cells, most common in children

40
Q

What is acute myelogenous leukemia?

A

Affects all stages

41
Q

What is chronic myelogenous leukaemia?

A

Prolonged onset, from myeloid stem cells mainly in adults

42
Q

What is Bone Marrow transplant for?

A

Replacement of cancerous or abnormal RBM with healthy one
Patient RBM destroyed by chemo and whole body radiation
healthy RBM from donor or patient in remission
Marrow migrates to RBM cavities and multiply, create graftvshost disease
need to stay on immunosuppressants
