Blood Disorders pt 2 Flashcards
hematuria
blood in urine
what is von willebrand disease due to
decrease or absence of the von Willebrand factor and decrease in factor 8
what is necessary for stabilization of factor 8
VWF
what are some clinical manifestations of hemophilia
bruising
nosebleeds
prolonged bleeding
mouth/gum bleeding
who would get chronic DIC
cancer patients with malignancy
what does activated partial thromboplastin time assess
the intrinsic pathway
do you have high or low platelets in DIC
low
what is acute DIC
secondary to trauma, ie sepsis, snake bite, or massive hemorrhage and thrombosisw
when does Immune thrombocytopenia purpura develop symptoms
until youre under 100 000uL
what is the main danger of severe platelet deficits
intracranial hemorrhage
hemophilia B is also known as
Christmas disease
how can one aquire thrombocytopenia
viral infections (among other factors)
what are the 3 main causes of qualitative platelet disorders
drugs
systemic inflammatory conditions
hematologic alteration
what does bleeding time evaluate
vascular status and platelet function
what is a coagulopathy
defect of the normal clotting mechanism
what can a prothrombin time test show
coagulation defect in the extrinsic pathway
what is disseminated intravascular coagulation
both bleeding and clotting occur simultaenously
are aquired or congenital qualitative platelet disorders more common
acquired
what is secondary polycythemia
physiologic response due to increased EPO due to chronic hypoxia
what is thrombocytosis
high number of platelets in the blood
is it more common for platelet disorders to be acquired or inherited
acquired
what are the most common forms of thrombocytopenia a result of
increased platelet destrcution
what is thrombocytopenia
decreased platelet count resulting from decreased platelet production, increased consumption or both
what are some clinical manifestations of VWD
mucous membrane hemmorages
nose/GI bleeding
ecchymosis
menorrhagia
difference between thrombocythemia and thrombocytopenia
thrombocythemia: high number of platelets
thrombocytopenia: low numbers of platelets
