Coag Exam 2 Flashcards
Coagulation Proteins (Factors)
In circulation:
Activated Form:
Purpose:
In circulation: inactive (zymogen)
Activated Form: interact to form fibrin Clot
Purpose: to reinforce the plt plug
Factor 1
Fribrinogen
Factor II
Prothrombin
Factor III
Tissue Factor (tissue thromboplastin)
Factor IV
Ionized calcium
Factor V
Labile Factor (proaccelerin)
Factor VII
Stable Factor (Serum prothrombin conversion accelerator SPCA), proconvertin
Factor VIII
Antihemopholic factor, factor VIII:C (coagulation portion)
Factor IX
Christmas Factor, Plasma thromboplastin component (PTC), antihemophilic factor B
Factor X
Stuart-Prower factor
Factor XI
Plasma Thromboplastin Antecedent (PTA)
Factor XII
Hageman factor (contact factor)
Factor XIII
Fibrin-stabilizing factor (FSF)
Fitzgerald factor
High-Molecular Weight Kininogen (HMWK)
Fletcher factor
Prekallikrein
Vitamin K dependent
Factors: 2, 7, 9 and 10
Protein C and S
effects of Coumarin, Coumadin and Warfarin
- inhibit Vit K reduction yielding inactive factors
- only active in vivo (unlike heparin)
Fibrinogen or Thrombin sensitive proteins
1, 5, 8c and 13
Thrombin acts on all factors in the fibrinogen group
Enhances activity of:
Activates factor:
Converts:
Enhances activity of factors 5 and 8c
Activates factor 8
Converts fibrinogen to fibrin
PT is measured by which pathway?
Extrinsic
APTT is measured by which pathway?
Intrinsic
3 disorders of Fibrinogen
Afibrinogenemia, hypofibriogenemia and and dysfibrinogenemia
What is afibrinogenemia?
quantitative disorder
lack of synthesis in liver
What is hypofibrinogenemia?
low amounts of fibrinogen and is generally asymtomatic
What is dysfibrinogenemia?
abnormal fibrinogen structure and function
symptoms: post-traumatic or postoperative bleeding of mucosal tissues
What does factor 8 do?
functions as a catalyst, forming bonds between proteins (fibrin monomers, fibronectin, collagen, alpha 2-inhibitor)
What is factor 8 characterized by?
initial stoppage of bleeding then recurrence of bleeding more than 36 hours after event
