Coagulation Flashcards
Inhibit platelet adhesion
PGI2
Released in response to endothelial damage
vWF
collagen exposed
PGI2 redcued
Mechanism of platelet aggregation
GP1a bind collagen and GP1b binds vWF –> bound platelets replease ADP, thromboxane A2 (TXA2) and serotonin (5-HT) –> those things recruit and activate more platelets - promote GPIIb/IIIa receptor to bind fibrinogen (crosslinks platelets) –> TXA2 and HR-2 cause vasoconstriction
Fibrin formation
TF + VII –> VIIa-TF (w/ IX and XIII) cleave X to Xa –> Xa (and V) cleaves prothrombin –> thrombin –> thrombin cleaves fibrinogen to fibrin
TFPI
inhibits activity of TF/VIIa
Protein C
w/ cofactor (protein S), destroys factors V and VIII
Thrombomodulin
on endothelial cells, allows activation of protein C by thrombin
Antithrombin III (AT III)
plasma protease inhibitor that inactivates clotting factors
alpha1-antiprotease and a2-macroglobulin
like AT III, inactivate clotting factors
Disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC)
inhibitors overwhelmed by injury, sepsis, etc. leading to clots everywhere
Fibrinolysis
removing fibrin clots via PLASMIN (digests fibrin and clotting factors)
Converts plasminogen to plasmin
tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA)
Antidote for Heparin
protamine sulfate
Use of heparin
anticoag: surgery, IV cath
Prophylaxis of DVT, PE
LMH drugs
enoxaprin
fondaparinux
