haematology - bleeding disorders Flashcards

1
Q

approaches to bleeding disorders

A
  1. bleeding patient
    - can have normal initial labs
  2. abnormal bleeding tests
    - little clinical sig without Hx of bleeding

Q

severity of haemophilia A depends on

A

factor level
<1%: severe
1-5%: moderate
5-25%: mild

27
Q

management of haemophilia A

A

avoid NSAIDS and IM injections
desmopressin
factor VIII concentrates replacement

28
Q

desmopressin in treatment of haemophilia A

A

↑ VWF release which is factor VIII carrier

29

similar to that of haemophilia A

32
Q

management of haemophilia B

A

factor IX concentrates

33
Q

A

factor VIII deficiency and ↓ platelet function

34
Q

types of VWD

A

quantitative
qualitative

variable phenotype (from complete to asymptomatic/mild deficiency)
type 1: low levels of VWF
type 2: deficiency in VWF function
type 3: absent VWF
35
Q

inheritance pattern of VWD

A

autosomal dominant

36
Q

presentation of VWD

A

mucocutaneous bleeding

bleeding indicative of coagulation disorders

37
Q

dx of VWD

A 
(↑) APTT 
normal PT
↓ factor VIII
