DISORDERS OF PRIMARY HEMOSTASIS – VASCULAR DISORDERS Flashcards
HEREDITARY VASCULAR DISORDERS
hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia
hemangioma thrombocytopenia syndrome
ehlers danlos syndrome
marfan syndrome
pseudoxanthoma elasticum
osteogenesis imperfecta
2 categories of vascular disorders
hereditary and acquired vascular disorders
ACQUIRED VASCULAR DISORDERS
allergic purpura (henoch schonlein)
purpura associated with infections (septic emboli and purpura fulminans)
purpura secondary to dysproteinemia (waldernstroms’s purpura, cryoglibulinemia, hyperviscosity syndrome, amyloidoisis)
senile purpura
drug induced vascular purpura
vitamin c deficiency (scurvy)
HEREDITARY HEMORRHAGIC TELANGIECTASIA is also called as
osler weber rendu syndrome
Characterized by thin-walled
blood vessels with a discontinuous endothelium, inadequate smooth muscle,
inadequate or missing elastin that surrounds the stroma
HEREDITARY HEMORRHAGIC TELANGIECTASIA (OSLER-WEBER-RENDU SYNDROME)
mode of inheritance of hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia
autosomal dominant 50% chance of transferring to offspring
__are dilated superficial blood vessels that create small, focal red lesions
Telangiectasias
Vascular malformation involves vessels throughout the body, which are dilated, tortuous and disorganized.
o Making them prone to rupture
HEREDITARY HEMORRHAGIC TELANGIECTASIA (OSLER-WEBER-RENDU SYNDROME)
It is characterized by the presence of widespread telangiectatic lesions (“spider veins”) of the skin and mucous
membrane
HEREDITARY HEMORRHAGIC TELANGIECTASIA (OSLER-WEBER-RENDU SYNDROME)
HEREDITARY HEMORRHAGIC TELANGIECTASIA (OSLER-WEBER-RENDU SYNDROME)
lesions develop on
tongue, lips, palate, face, and hands
characteristics of telangiectatic lesion of HHT
reddish or purple
dilated blood vessels
tortuous (matigas)
disorganized
main problem or cause of hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia
ENG1, ACVRL 1, SMAD4
function of ENG1 in HHT
encodes protein that is part of TGF - beta transforming growth factor which is a receptor
purpose of ENG1 and its importance
for the blood vessel component and repair
ACVRL1 transpose
activin A receptor type 2 like 1
or activin A receptor-like 1 type 2
activin A receptor type 2 like 1
or activin A receptor-like 1 type 2
what is its purpose
plays a critical role in BV in development and as well as its maintenance
SMAD4 is for
critical in cell growth and development
type of anemia that is usually seen in hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia
IDA
