Blood Coagulation Flashcards
Factor I
Fibrinogen. Liver. 2000-4000 microgram/mL.
To fibrin by IIa, stabilised by XIIIa
Structural mesh work
Acute phase reactant
Factor II
Prothrombin. Activated by Xa Fibrinogen to fibrin Activator of platelets Procarboxypeptidase B, inhibits plasmin mediated fibrinolysis Anticlotting activity Wound healing
Vitamin K dependent
Factor III
Tissue thromboplastin
Extrinsic mechanism of blood coagulation
VII to VIIa, then X to Xa
Factor IV
Calcium, X to Xa, prothrombin to thrombin
Factor V
Proaccelerin
Accelerates prothrombin to thrombin
X to Xa
Factor VII
Proconvertin
Activated to tissue factor
Activates X to Xa
Also IX to IXa
Vitamin K dependant
Factor VIII
Antihemophilic factor
Activated by Xa, thrombin
Converts X to Xa
Bound to vWF
Factor IX
Vitamin K dependent
Christmas factor
Activated by XIa or VIIa/TF complex
X to Xa
Factor X
Stuart Prower factor
Vitamin K dependent
Activated by IXa and VIIa
Converts prothrombin to thrombin
Factor XI
Plasma thromboplastin or Antihemophilic factor C
Activated by XIIa, accelerated by kininogen
Contact factors
Factor XII
Hageman’s factor
Contact actuvation, along with HMW kininogen and prekallikrein
Converts XI to XIa
Factor XIII
Laki-Lorand factor
Fibrin stabilising
Activated by thrombin
HMW kininogen, prekallikrein
HMW- nonenzymatic function in contact activation.
Prekallikrein- complex with factor XI and HMW kininogen
Thrombomodulin
Protein C
Protein S
Tissue factor pathway inhibitor
Thrombomodulin+thrombin- protein C activated.
Protein C- vit K dependent
Protein S- cofactor for protein C, inactivates Va and VIIIa
TFPI- inhibits Xa and VIIa
Mechanism of blood coagulation
Stage 1: Activation of Stuart Prower factor
Stage 2: conversion of prothrombin to thrombin
Stage 3: formation of fibrin from fibrinogen
