Coagulation Phys Flashcards
What is the difference between the cell based model and the traditional model?
Traditional: two pathways operate semi-independent distinct, redunt interactions between factors and cells are limited
Cell based model: Plasma does not clot therefore cells invovled
What is the extrinsic pathway of coagulation
Tissue Damage —> Tissue factor + Ca –> FVIIa with Ca + Phospholipid –> FXa
What is the intrinsic pathway of coagulation
Damaged vessel –> FXII —> FXI + Ca —-> FIX w/ FVIII + Ca + plt phospholipid —> FX
What are the Vitamin K factors and why is one more likely decreased?
Thrombin (II), FVII, IX, X
FVII shortest 1/2 life 4-6 hrs
What Coagulation factors are tested in PT
Extrinsic and common pathway
Added to TF, phospholipid, and Ca
What coagulation factors are tested in PTT
Intrinsic and common
Added to contact activator and phospholipid and Ca
In the cell based model of coagulation what is the initiation phase:
‘Spark’ Tissue factor exposed to endothelium to circulating FVII forms complex with Ca
Extrinsic factor tenase complex activates FXa w/ FV get thrombin formation
Tissue factor inhibitor inhibits Extrinsic factor tenase complex
In the cell based model of coagulation what is the amplification phase
Thrombin burst: Activation and aggregation of platelets
Thrombin activates FVIII which binds with FIX to make intrinsic factor tenase complex—> FX with Ca
50-100 times more thrombin
In the cell based model of coagulation what is the propagation phase
Dependent on platelets: Leads to fibrin deposition
What are the procoagulation effects of thrombin
FV, Fibrin, FXI, FXIII, TAFI
What are the anticoagulation effects of thrombin
Plasmin, Protien C (by binding with thrombomodulin)
How does uremeic thrombocytopathy affect coagulation
Increased thrombosis, increased fibrin activation of P-selectin, abnormal release of microparticles
What is the pathway of fibrinolysis
tPA (tissue plasminogen activator) Released from vascular endothelial cells binds and activates plasminogen to plasmin
Plasmin molecules bineds to lysine residues on fibrin
What is the difference in FDPs and D-dimers
FDPs- are fibrin and cross-linked fibrin
D-Dimers- only cross-linked
What are the regulators of fibrinolysis
Plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1)
Alpha 2 Antiplasmin
Thrombin-activated Fibrionlysis inhibitor (TAFI)
What does Plasminogen activator inhibitor 1 do
inhibits tPA and uPa
What does alpha 2 antiplasmin do
Forms complex with plasmin
Prevents plasminogen into active clot
What does Thrombin-activated fibrinolysis inhibitor do
Down regulates fibrinolysis prevents palsmin from binding fibrin
What is the difference between primary and secondary hyperfibrinolysis
Primary: quantitative /qualitative abnormalities in regulation of fibrionlysis
Secondary: hyperactivity of normal fibrinolysis due to other coagulation abnormaliteies
What is the difference in TEG versus Rotem
TEG: Cup moves around stationary pin
ROTEM: Pin moves around stationary cup
What is the treatment for low fibrin
cyroprecipitate
How is hyperfibrinolysis develop with cavitary effusions
Anticoagulant environment, mesothelial cells secrete tPA and uPA, increase local expression of Protien C
Systemic due to reabsorption of hyperfib fluid via thoracic duct
How does hyperfibrinolysis develop with hepatic failure?
decreased hepatic production of alpha 2 atniplasmin
decreased clearance of plasminogen activators and plasmin
What is the MOA of EACA and TXA
Lysine analogues competitively bind c-terminal lysine sties on plasminogen
Plasmin formation is inhibited
What are platelets, how long til mature
anucleate cytoplasmic fagments from megakaryocytes
Mature in 3-5 days, life span 5-7 days
What are 4 key features of platelets for coagulation
Phospholipd membraned with high density regulated adhesive receptors
Cytoskeleton with contractile proteins
dense tubular system equest/release Ca
Secretory granules
What are the types of platelet secretory granules and what is included
Alpha granules: fibrinogen, P-selectin, Factor V, FXI, growth factors, VWF
Dense granules: released for mass platelet attraction
ADP, Epiniphrine, serotonion, histamine, calcium
How does platelet adhesion occur
Subendothelial collagen exposed with vascular injury
GPV1 or GP1b-IX-V receptor w/ VWF
alpha 2b Beta 2 (GP2B3A) intrigren with VWF
Where is VWF produced and stored
Produced by endothelial or megakaryocytes
Stored in weibel-palade bodies
Also prevents degredation of FVII
