CHAPTER 1 - HEMOSTASIS PART 6 Flashcards
From an external substance
ACQUIRED DEFECTS OF PLATELET FUNCTION
- Drug-related
• Aspirin
• NSAIDs and other COX-2 inhibitors (naproxen and ibuprofen)
• Other Antiplatelet medications: ticlopidine and clopidogrel
• Dextran
acytelate the cyclooxygenase enzyme
Aspirin
adding/removin one cpd to make it nonfuncitonal
acytelate
– secretes thromboxane and prostaglandin
cyclooxygenase enzyme
(stimulates the activation of plt and aggregation)
thromboxane and prostaglandin
blood donation: deferral after 14 days; plasma and plt are nonfuncitonal
NSAIDs and other COX-2 inhibitors (naproxen and ibuprofen)
.Prevent blood clotting by preventing plt aggregation
ticlopidine and clopidogrel
Administered to enhance fibrinolysis (plt clot – stabilization of coagulation – agglutinates in the bv to arrest bleeding – interacts w/ bf = not healthy)
Dextran
Side effect: reduce plt adhesion to vWF (interference to plt plug formation)
Dextran
Normal:
140-450 x 109/uL
: transient thrombocytopenia
100-150 x 109/uL
(due to medication but can go back as soon as it is eliminated)
: transient thrombocytopenia
- abnormally low
• ≤ 100,000/ pL
- bleeding possible
• 30,000-50,000/ pL
- spontaneous bleeding
• ≤ 30,000
- severe spontaneous bleeding
• ≤ 5,000/pL
-decrease in circulating platelets
THROMBOCYTOPENIA
-less than 100,000/uL
THROMBOCYTOPENIA
-increase in circulating platelets
THROMBOYTOSIS /THROMBOCYTHEMIA
-more than 450,000/uL
THROMBOYTOSIS /THROMBOCYTHEMIA
-bleeding -
THROMBOCYTOPENIA
hallmark for myeloproliferative diseases
Primary Thrombocytosis
- polycythemia vera: thrombocytosis is in sync w/ an abnormality of the rbc
THROMBOYTOSIS /THROMBOCYTHEMIA
THROMBOCYTOPENIA
- Decreased production
- Blood Transfusion
- Increased Destruction or Consumption
- Decreased production
a. Megakaryocyte hypoproliferation
b. Ineffective thrombopoiesis
c. Marrow replacement (infiltration) by abnormal cells
a. Megakaryocyte hypoproliferation
a.1) Inherited/Congenital Hypoplasia
a.2) Acquired/Drug induced Hypoplasia
Inherited/Congenital Hypoplasia:
- May Hegglin Anomaly
- TAR Syndrome
- Fanconi Anemia
- Neonatal Thrombocytopenia
- Bernard Soulier Syndrome
- Wiskott Aldrich
-Large plt (20 um); dohle like bodies (neutrophils, monocytes)
May Hegglin Anomaly
-Mutation in MYH9 gene
May Hegglin Anomaly
Encodes for myosin heavy chain
May Hegglin Anomaly
– contractile protein in plt (imp for activation)
Thrombostenin
Causing thrombocytopenia (abnormally large plt but low in level)
May Hegglin Anomaly
-absence/hypoplasia of radial bones (small arm)
TAR Syndrome
-Mutation in RBM8A gene
TAR Syndrome
-occurs in neonates
Fanconi Anemia
-bone and visceral organ abnormalities
Fanconi Anemia
-pancytopenia (decrease in all blood cells)
Fanconi Anemia
-onset: w/in 72 hours of birth
Neonatal Thrombocytopenia
- associated with infections with TORCH
Neonatal Thrombocytopenia
Toxoplasma, Rubella, CMV, HIV, Herpes
Neonatal Thrombocytopenia
-small platelets
Neonatal Thrombocytopenia
-absence of megakaryocytes
Neonatal Thrombocytopenia
: directly affect the fetal BM megakaryocyte
chlorthiazide and tolbutamide
-Large plt but few
- Bernard Soulier Syndrome
-Dense granules; small platelets
- Wiskott Aldrich
-suppresses BM megakaryocyte production and other cells.
Acquired/Drug induced Hypoplasia
Acquired/Drug induced Hypoplasia Examples:
-methotrexate, busulfan, cytosine, arabinoside, cyclosphamide, cisplatin
– assoc. w/ specific gene chromosomal abnormality
Inherited/Congenital Hypoplasia
: HIV treatment
-Zidovudine
side effect – severe thrombocytopenia
-Zidovudine
eliminates infection but negatively affects the healthy cells
-Zidovudine
: thrombocytosis treatment
-Anagrelide
(eliminating some platelet to go back to normal level by increasing sequestration or affecting the life span of plt)
-Anagrelide
improper administration causes thrombocytopenia
-Anagrelide
: long-term consumption may lead to thrombocytopenia
-Ethanol
bleeding may not be arrested easily
-Ethanol
: after chemotherapy, there will be pancytopenia, destroying some healthy cells
-Recombinant IL-2
restores platelet
-Recombinant IL-2
chemotherapy-induced thrombocytopenia treatment
-Recombinant IL-2
