Blood coagulation Flashcards
INJURY
▪ Exposes reactive subendothelial matrix proteins
such as:
- Collagen
- Von Willebrand Factor
Injury Result
- Platelet adherence and activation
- Secretion and synthesis vasoconstrictors
- Platelet recruitment and activating proteins
▪ Synthesized from arachidonic acid within
platelets.
▪ A platelet activator and potent vasoconstrictor.
THROMBOXANE A2 (TXA)
PRODUCTS SECRETED FROM PLT GRANULES
▪ Adenosine diphosphate ▪ Serotonin ▪ Bind fibrinogen ▪ Cross link adjacent platelets. ▪ Aggregation and formation of platelet plug ▪ Thrombin generation and fibrin clot.
serotonin
- Activation of platelet
- Conformational change in alpha and beta
integrin (IIb/IIIa) receptor.
2b3a
DEFECTS IN FORMATION OF PLATELET PLUG
▪ Defects in primary hemostasis, platelet function defects, Von Willebrand Disease.
▪ Bleeding mucosal sites with injury.
- Gingiva, skin, heavy menses
DEFECTS IN THE CLOTTING MECHANISM
▪ Secondary hemostasis, Hemophilia A
▪ Tend to bleed into deep tissues
- Joints, muscle, retroperitoneum
▪ No inciting event, recur unpredictably
will do binding with fibronectin and
thrombin. This binding will produce more feedback
to produce more thrombin
vWF
Platelets will be activated and release substances
like
ADP,5-HT, TXA2 in circulation.
▪ Platelet rich
WHITE THROMBI
Fibrin rich
RED THROMBI
Form in the high
flow rate and high
shear force
environment of arteries
WHITE THROMBI
▪ With large number
of trapped RBC
Venous clots
▪ With large number
of trapped RBC
white thrombi is dominated by
platelet nidus
red thrombi is dominated by
firbin tail
white thrombi effects
- Downstream ischemia (of
extremities or vital organs) - Result: limb amputation
and organ failure
Red thrombi effects
- Severe swelling and pain (of affected extremity) - Pulmonary Embolism – part of the clot breaks off from its location in the deep venous system and travels as an embolus; most feared consequence
TF/VIIa
TFP inhibitor
VIIIa
Protein C/Protein S
IXa, XIa, Xa, Va, Thrombin
Antithrombin III/Heparin

THE IDEAL ANTI - CLOTTING DRUG
▪ Can preserve the tissue factor and VIIa initiation
phase
▪ Weakening the secondary pathway

Platelet function is regulated by 3 categories
- Agents generated outside the platelets that
interact with platelet membrane receptor - Agents generated within the platelet that interact
with membrane receptors - Agents generated within the platelet that act
within the platelet
Agents generated outside the platelets that
interact with platelet membrane receptor
o Catecholamines
o Collagen
o Thrombin
o Prostaglandin
Agents generated within the platelet that interact
with membrane receptors
o ADP (clopidogrel)
o Prostaglandin D2
o Prostaglandin E2
o Serotonin
Agents generated within the platelet that act
within the platelet
o Prostaglandin endopoxides o Thromboxane A2 (aspirin) o Cyclic nucleosides o CAMP o CGMP o Calcium Ions
An arachidonate product that causes platelets to change shape, release their
granules and aggregate
▪ Prostaglandin thromboxane A2
Inhibit synthesis of TXA2 ▪ By irreversible acetylation of cyclooxygenase
Aspirin

325 mg/d
As an adjunct to risk factor management by
smoking cessation
Aspirin
aspirin SE
bleeding, gastritis/ gastric ulcers,
allergic reaction and Reye syndrome
▪ Antiplatelet effects by irreversibly blocking ADP
receptors on platelets
