Q

explain primary hemostasis

A

vessel break → collagen exposure, TF released
GPIB on plt + vWF + exposed collagen

A

hemophilia C

25
Q

thrombolytic drug
converts plasminogen → plasmin

A

streptokinase

26
Q

drug therapy that can give coag results like a multi-factor deficiency

A

thrombolytic agents

27
Q

factor deficiency that causes clotting, not bleeding

A

XII

28
Q

distinguish coag factor inhibitor from deficiency

A

mixing study
corrects —deficiency
does not correct —inhibitor

29
Q

distinguish which factor deficiency a patient has

A

single factor assays
pt plasma + plasmas each deficient in one factor
remains abnormal —deficiency of that factor

30
Q

coag problem causing superficial bleeding vs deep bleeding

A

superficial —plt problem
deeper —hemophilia

31
Q

Christmas disease

A

hemophilia B
IX deficiency

32
Q

normal fibrinogen

A

200-400

33
Q

why is pregnancy a risk factor for DIC?

A

placenta can release large amounds of TF

34
Q

triggers of DIC

A

sepsis
pregnancy
venoms
APML
trauma, burns
acute hemolytic trxn

35
Q

malnutrition effect on coag pathway

A

↓ vitamin K
↓ functional prothrombin group factors (prothrombin, VII, IX, X)

36
Q

first factor that ↓ in liver disease or vitamin K def.

A

VII
shortest half life
PT affected first

37
Q

how can ↓ GI flora cause ↑ PT?

A

vitamin K deficiency

38
Q

function of coumadin

A

inhibits vitamin K - dependent factors

39
Q

function of heparin

A

enhances the effects of ATIII

40
Q

PIVKAs

A

proteins affected by vitamin K deficiency
prothrombin, VII, IX, X

41
Q

coag pathway inhibitors that are vitamin K-dependent

A

proteins C & S

42
Q

functions of proteins C & S

A

inhibit factor V
S is cofactor for C

43
Q

V not susceptible to protein C
clotting tendency

A

factor V leiden mutation

44
Q

too much thrombin
clotting tendency

A

prothrombin mutation

45
Q

buildup of homocysteine
clotting tendency

A

MTHFR mutation

46
Q

usually 2-3

47
Q

sodium citrate tube ratio

A

9:1

48
Q

bridge for multiple coag factors, tenase, PL surface

A

Ca

49
Q

activates plts
inhibited by aspirin

A

arachidonic acid system

50
Q

test for XIII deficiency based on clot stability

A

5M urea test

51
Q

tests fibrinogen → fibrin step
used to detect heparin contamination

A

thrombin time

52
Q

tests fibrinogen → fibrin step
not affected by heparin contamination

A

reptilase time

53
Q

PTT prolonged
bleeding tendency
time & temp dependent
hemophiliacs

A

factor VIII inhibitor (Ab)

54
Q

PTT prolonged
clotting tendency
anti-phospholipid

A

PTT with ↓ phospholipid, prolonged by LAC

PTT with ↑ phospholipid, more normal with LAC

Lupus anticoagulant

A

DRVVT
StaClot test
