FA Haematology Flashcards
How do platelets bind to vwf
GP1b
PT measures
Extrinsic
PTT measures
Intrinsic
Warfarin monitor
PT (affects both but 7 has shortest half-life)
What synthesizes vit K?
Enteric bacteria
How do clotting factors get activated
Gamma carboxylation
DOAC reversal
Andexanet alfa
tPA can cause
Angiooedema
Heparin reversal
Protamine sulphate
Dabgatrin reversal
Idarucizumab
Inhibits epoxide reductase
Warfarin
Doac vs warfarin metabolism
Renal, hepatic
INR monitoring
> 10 - stop and give vit k
4.5 - 10 - hold and can give vit k
<4.5 - hold next dose and then go to maintenance (adjust)
What blood replacement product has high concentration of fibrinogen, VIII, vWF

vWD
Treat vWD

What is wrong on labs in VWD
only increased bleeding (can affect PTT because of factor 8)
What is ITP?
IgG against membrane protein G2b/3a
Treat ITP
