Q

describe the steps of primary hemostasis

A

*platelet adhesion/ activation/ aggregation = platelet plug

  1. platelet adhesion to sub endothelial surface by vWF and Gp1b interaction
  2. platelet activation = shape change to increase surface area, change to negative charge, conformational change of Gp2b-Gp3a complex, and platelet granule secretion of ADP and TXA2 by thrombin and ADP stimulation
  3. platelet aggregation is initiated by increased TXA2, thrombin conversion of fibrinogen to fibrin, Gp2b–Gp3a complex change to allow bivalent binding of fibrinogen and subsequent cross linking,

chronic hepatic congestion due to central vein obstruction or flow reduction
-central lobular necrosis (cosseting necrosis of granulation inflammatio) resulting in alternating light/dark pattern of hepatic lobules

82
Q

cause of ascites (peritoneal effusion) vs central hepatic lobule necrosis (nutmeg liver)

A

ascites

  • caused by portal HTN /liver cirrhosis
  • *increased risk of infection

nutmeg liver
-caused by central vein congestion/decreased blood flow due to chronic heart failure

83
Q

role of platelets in hemostasis

A
  1. form the platelet plug that initial seal vascular defects
  2. provides a surface that binds and concentrates coagulation factors
  3. release granules that induce coagulation cascade, wound healing, and continued platelet activation and recruitment
84
Q

what factor deficiency is associated with bleeding into joints (hemathrosis )

A

seen in hemophiliacs (factor 8 aka AHF)

85
Q

what are the four fates of a thrombus

A
  1. propagation : platelet aggregation and fibrin clotting
  2. embolization : dislodging and travel to distal site
  3. dissolution: spontaneous shrinkage/ dissapperance by fibrinolysis [seen in new thrombi not older ones]
  4. organization/ recanalization: thrombi grow into endothelium, reopening of vessel, small remaining fibrous lump pf thrombi
86
Q

prothomrbotic roles of endothelium

A

damage to endothelium activates it to:

  1. decrease thrombomodulin and protein C
  2. increase PAI (plasminogen activator inhibitor; inhibits t-PA)
  3. decrease VO to cause vasoconstriction
  4. increased exposure of adhesion molecules
87
Q

signs that a large pulmonary embolism resulted in pulmonary infarction

A
  • red infarct bc dual blood supply and venous thrombi
  • wedged shape necrosis of hemorrhagic infarction area
  • V/Q mismatch bc abnormal perfusion
  • elevated D-dimers
  • spiral CT shows vascular filling defect in lungs
  • sx: SOB, hemoptysis, chest pain, pleural effusion
88
Q

sites of blood alteration (turbulence and stasis) that lead to endothelial injury

A
  1. normal bifurcation (increases turbulence)
  2. dilated vessels (aneurysm or hemorrhoids cause stasis and TF respectively)
  3. internal obstruction (plaque)
  4. external compression (non contractile myocardium)
  5. inadequate heart chamber function (A-fib)
  6. hypervisocity
89
Q

effects of elevated homocysteine levels

A
  • prothomrobitc agent that causes linkage of fibronogen

- leads to arterial and venous thrombi and development of atherosclerosis

90
Q

what disorders are associated with platelet adhesion defects? and what is their distinct difference in manifestation ?

A
  1. vWF disease
    - loss of vWF
  2. Bernard soulier syndrome
    - loss of Gp1b receptor

*in BSS you can see giant platelets on microscopic slide

91
Q

compare and contrast turbulence and stasis of blood flow

A

turbulence - caused by arterial/cardiac thrombi
stasis - venous thrombi

both- pro inflammatory activators of endothelium by injury , disrupt laminar flow, prevent washout of clotting factors

92
Q

what is the antiothrombotic effects of endothelium and mechanisms of influence

A
  1. healthy endothelium covers TF and no clotting occurs
  2. platelet inhibition by PGI2, ADPase, and NO
  3. anticoagulant by thrombomodulin and thrombin coactivaiton of protein C and S) to degrade factors 5 and 8
  4. fibrinolytic by release of t-pa
  5. heparin like molecule which inactivates thrombin and factors 9 and 10
93
Q

what is a key indicator of primary hemostatic defect

A
  • mucocutaneous bleeding
  • nose bleeds / gum bleeds
  • petechiae
  • purpura
  • echymoses
  • wound bleeding episodes following surgery or trauma
  • rare: hemotypis (coughing blood) , GI bleeds, hematuria
94
Q

basics of the fibrinolytic cascade

A
  1. arrest of clot formation (increased blood flow to wash away factors, thrombomodulin)
  2. clot resorption (t-pa and plasmin)
  3. tissue repair
95
Q

petechiae vs purpura vs. ecchymosis common in platelet dysfunction

A 
petechiae = small 
purpura = medium size
ecchymosis = larger and palpable
96
Q

mechanism of edema by increased capillary hydrostatic pressure

A

forces fluid out of capillary into interstitial space

97
Q

antemortem vs post mortem clots

A

antemortem (embolus occurring during active blood flow)
* lines of zahn present (alternating pale areas of platelet/ fibrin from clot and red bread from RBCs)

postmortem clot (embolus occurring after death and stopping of blood flow)

  • no lines of zahn
  • looks gelatinous dark and red like jelly
98
Q

histologic manifestation of infarction by time of onset and tissue type

A

min- hours before death : no sign

>4-12 hours before death: microscopic necrosis evidence of wedges shape infarct

99
Q

cause of portal HTN vs central vein HTN

A

portal HTN
-vascular congestion of portal vein because of liver disease primarily. then leads to HTN bc of fibrosis and blocked blood flow

central vein HTN
-central vein congestion caused by heart failure and decreased vascular outflow primarily then leading to CV occlusion/ congestion and livers disease

100
Q

define vegetation and endocarditis (including clinical presentation) and contrast 1. infected endocardial thrombi/vegetation vs. 2. nonbacterial thrombotic endocarditis vs 3. Libman-Sacks endocarditis

A

vegetation: large thrombi on heart valve
endocarditis : heart valve vegetation break off and manifestation
-skin micro emboli (purpuric)
-retinal microemboli (roth spots)
-nail bed damage ( splinter hemorrhage)

  1. bacterial or fungi adhere to damaged heart valves and cause endothelial injury and subsequent large thrombi (vegetation) formation. can lead to septic emboli formation and septic infarction (abscess formation and increased inflammatory response)
  2. vegetations made on non-infected heart valves due to hypercoaguable state
  3. vegetation formation seen in Lupus
101
Q

function of D-dimers

A

fibrin breakdown product that is measured clinically to help diagnostic testing (particularly elevated in pulmonary infarction following Pulmonary embolism and effusion)

102
Q

how does hyperglycemia and insulin resistance form in DIC ? what is the side effect of hyperglycemia ?

A

TNF and IL-1 release of stress hormones (glucagon and cortisol) causes increases BG levels and impair GLUT 4 in liver which increases insulin resistance

-hyperglycemia deactivates neutrophils and increases bacterial damage and infection risk

103
Q

acute heart failure is associated with what other clinical manifestations? chronic?

A

soft tissue and pulmonary edema leading to pleural effusion
-left ventricle failure to pump causes congestion to occur in the pulmonary venous circulation and causes leaking of fluid into alveolar spaces(edema) and pleural space (effusion)

chronic congestion by hart failure
= hemosderosis (w/ hemosideren laden MOs)
= hepatic congestion (central vein obstruction and nutmeg liver)

104
Q

what is the cause of instant death in a large saddle emboli coming from a DVT

A

right heart failure (because the heart can not pump past the obstruction)

105
Q

what protein blocks the coagulation cascade from further coagulation

A

throbomodulin

106
Q

what are the 5 causes of edema

A
  1. increased capillary hydrostatic pressure
  2. decreased oncotic pressure
  3. increased vascular permeability
  4. lymphatic obstruction
  5. sodium and water retention
107
Q

stages of shock

A

*shock is a progressive disorder if not treated will lead to death

  1. initial non progressive phase: cutaneous reflex of vasoconstriction activated, organ perfusion maintained. affects baroreceptors, ADH, RAAS, and sympthaetics but not cerebral or coronary blood flow
    sx: tachycardia, skin pallor and coolness, renal fluid conservation
  2. progressive stage: widespread tissue hypoxia and tissue hypo-perfusion and onset of worsening hemostatic and metabolic balance. organs affected and begin to fail.
    sx: increased lactic acidosis, low pH, arteriole dilation, and blood pooling, stasis leading to injury and DIC
  3. irreversible stage: severe injury to organs resulting in no possible survival
    sx: lysosomal enzyme leakage
108
Q

resulting immunosuppression in septic shock

A

cycling between hyper inflammatory and immunosuppressive state by:
TH1 –>TH2 t cell shift
-activates anti-inflammatory effects of M2 MO
-lymphocycte apoptosis by attempted clearing and healing
