25
Q

how can we diagnose thrombosis?

A

index of suspicion:
underlying disease
physical exam
imaging

26
Q

why do we not use thrombolytics that much?

A

can result in bleeding

what is disseminated intravascular coagulation?

A

coagulopathy associated with severe disease
mixed thrombosis and bleeding

what is secondary hemostasis?

A

fibrin clot

29
Q

what is primary hemostasis?

A

platelet plug

30
Q

what happens in excessive bleeding?

A

decreased platelet numbers and function
decreased clotting factors

31

what is an inherited disorder of primary hemostasis?

A

von willebrand’s disease

32
Q

how many platelets per high powered field are normal?

A

8-15

33
Q

what does buccal mucosal bleeding time assess?

A

platelet adhesion and aggregation

34
Q

what can cause decreased production of platelets?

A

bone marrow disease: aplastic anemia, myelofibrosis, neoplasia
drugs, toxins
radiation therapy

35
Q

what is directed against platelets in primary immune mediated thrombocytopenia?

A

autoantibodies

36
Q

are females or males more commonly impacted by ITP?

A

females

37
Q

how long does it take to respond to immunosuppression with prednisone?

A

4-6 days

38
Q

what does vincristine do?

A

increases platelet production by megakaryocytes

39
Q

what can cause acquired thrombocytopathia?

A

FIP
hyperglobulinemia
drug induced
uremia
hypo/hyperthermia
sepsis

40
Q

what is impaired in von willebrand’s disease?

A

von willebrand factor mediated platelet adhesion

41
Q

what is von willebrand factor?

A

major binding protein of platelet
stored in platelets and endothelial cells
bound to factor VIII
mediates contact of platelets with extracellular matrix

42
Q

how many types of von willebrand disease are there?

A

three
I, II, III

43
Q

what does DDAVP do?

A

stimulates von willebrand factor to release from endothelium

44
Q

what are the types of cavitary bleeding?

A

hemathrosis
hemothorax
hemoabdomen

45
Q

if there is a deficiency in factors IX and VIII, what is seen on PT/aPTT?
