Coagulation Disorders - Exam 4 Flashcards
What are the plt phases?
adhesion, aggregation, secretion, cross-linking of adjacent plts
What do we see in blood vessels with thrombogenesis?
vasoconstriction, formation of plt plugs, regulation of coagulation and fibrinolysis
What is the extrinsic pathway?
tissue damage exposes tissue factor
What is the intrinsic pathway?
plts interact with damaged endothelium
What do we see with thrombin activation?
formation of fibrin clot
Coagulation is also known as?
Thrombogenesis
What causes hemostasis or triggers it?
injury
What is involved with the intrinsic pathway, PTT or PT?
PTT
what is involved in the extrinsic pathway, PT or PTT?
PT
If collagen and vWF are exposed, what happens?
binds to receptors on the platelet 1
Where do we see DVT formed?
lower limbs, large veins
What is virchows triad?
stasis, endothelial injury and hypercoagulability
What do we see with white thrombus?
Found in high pressure arteries, obstruct arterial flow, downstream ischemia, plts and fibrin cross linking, abnormal endothelium
Is serotonin involved in vasoconstriction of blood vessels?
yes
what is another name for plt plugs?
thrombocytes
What is involved with red thrombus?
low pressure veins, red cells around white thrombus, long tail, detachment, pulmonary embolism
What are the inherited DVT risk factors?
antithrombin 3 deficiency, protein C deficiency, protein S deficiency, sickle cell anemia, activated protein C resistance
Does prostacyclin inhibit plt aggregation?
yes
Do NSAIDS inhibit or excite PGD synthesis?
inhibit
Acquired DVT risk factors
bedridden, surgery/trauma, obesity, estrogen use, malignancies, chronic venous insufficiency
What does exposed collagen bind to?
GP 1a
hat does exposed vWF bind to ?
GP 1b
what does aspirin inhibit>
TXA2
What holds plts together?
fibrinogen
what creates a spiderweb to link lots of plts together?
fibrin
What do we want to avoid with coagulation?
DIC and impaired blood flow
What results do we see with DIC?
generalized blood coagulatiom, excessive consumption of factors and plts, spontaneous bleeding
What causes DIC
massive tissue injury, malignancy, bacterial sepsis, abruptio placentae
how do we treat DIC?
plasma transfusions, underlying cause
what is the mortality with DIC
10-50%
What are the two major systems with coagulation regulation?
fibrin inhibition and fibrinolysis
what do protease inhibitors do?
rapidly inactivate coagulation proteins
4 protease inhibitors
a1-antiprotease
a2-macroglobulin
a2-antiplasmin
antithrombin
what does the fibrinolytic system do?
convert inactive plasminogen to plasmin
what is tPA released from?
injured cells
What does plasmin do?
remodels the thrombus and limits extension of the thrombus
What are 3 types of thrombotic disease therapy?
tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA)
urokinase
streptokinase
what does aminocaproic acid do?
protect clots from lysis
What do anticoagulants do?
inhibit the action or formation of clotting factors. prevent clot formation
what does plasmin do with fibrin?
creates fibrin split products
what do antiplatelets drugs do?
inhibit plt aggregation and prvent plt plugs
what do thrombolytic drugs do?
lyse existing clots
what do hemostatic or antifibrinloytic drugs do?
promote blood coagulation
What type of drug is heparin and what is its action?
anticoag, inactivates clotting factors
what type of drug is warfarin and what is the MOA?
anticoag, decrease synthesis of clotting factors
Type of drug is aspirin and MOA
antiplt and decrease plt aggregation
streptokinase is what kind of drug and MOA
thrombolytic and fibrinolysis
what do indirect thrombin inhbitors do?
enhance antithrombin activity, inactivate factor 10a, inhibit thrombin
what is the in depth MOA of heparin?
works on antithrombin 3, binds and activates AT, enhances activity, catalyzes reaction without being consumed
What is heparin extracted from?
porcine intestinal mucosa and bovine lung
Is LMW more or less effective on coagulation?
less effective
examples of LMW heparin
enoxaparin, dalteparin, tinzaparin
Toxicity associated w heparin
bleeding, transient thrombocytopenia (HIT)
Who is more prone to hemorrhage with heparin?
elderly women and pts with renal failure
What lab tests to monitor w heparin?
PT, aPTT
What reverses heparin
protamine sulfate
is protamine sulfate useful for LMW?
not really
what is time to clot?
PT
time to clot compared to control
INR
what is PT assessing?
function of extrinsic pathway and common pathway
What does aPTT measure?
activity of the intrinsic system and common pathway
contraindications for heparin
active bleeding, hemophilia, TCP, severe HTN, intracranial hemorrhage, infective endocarditis, active TB, GI ulcers, advanced hepatic disease
