Q

Features of factor XI deficiency

A
  • complicated genetics
  • severity doesn’t correlate with level of factor
  • mucosal and urogenital, spinal and closed space sites of surgery

Q

Treatment of factor XI deficiency

A
  • plasma derived factor concentrate
  • avoid concurrent tranexamic acid
  • aim low normal levels
  • long half life
  • consider thromboprophylaxis

Q

Features of factor VII deficiency

A
  • poor correlation levels and bleeding tendency
  • if very low levels = severe phenotype or coincidental pick up late in life
  • low dose recombinant fVIIa
  • VII may rise in pregnancy
  • possible compensation by other clotting factors rising in pregnancy
  • assess bleeding phenotype in non-pregnant state

Q

Fibrinogen deficiency

A
  • bleeding and thrombotic risks
  • quantitative = afibrinogenaemia/hypofibrinogenaemia
  • qualitative = dysfibrinogenaemia
  • coexist = hypodysfibrinogenaemia
  • potential severe bleeding
  • umbilical cord bleeding

Q

Difference between cryoprecipitate vs fibrinogen concentrate

A
  • both for fibrinogen deficiency
  • both plasma derived
  • cryo not pathogen inactivated
  • fibrinogen concentrate activated by heat

Q

Factor X deficiency

A
  • some bleeding correlation with severity level

- may need to consider prophylaxis = prothrombin complex conc. and plasma

17
Q

Factor XIII deficiency

A
  • poor wound healing
  • prolonged umbilical stump bleeding
  • bleeding symptoms from birth
  • numerical severity often reflects bleeding risk
  • conventional bleeding test will not detect
  • trials of recomb XIII for prophylaxis
  • cryo or plasms
18
Q

Vit K Dependent factor deficiency

A
  • factors II, VII, IX and X
  • PT concentrate
  • plasma
  • check vit K given as neonate otherwise haemorrhagic disease of newborn
19
Q

Which rare bleeding disorders don’t have a mutation in corresponding clotting factor gene

A
  • combined V and VIII deficiency

- vit K dependent factor deficiency

20
Q

Features of Glanzmanns

A
  • absent IIb/IIIa receptor on platelet surface
  • platelets morphologically and numerically normal
  • PFA grossly abnormal
  • platelet aggregometry = absent response to all except ristocetin
  • flow cytometry = demonstrate absent IIb/IIIa
21
Q

Features of Bernard-Soulier

A
  • absent Ib/IX/V receptor on platelet surface
  • platelets morphologically large and reduced in number
  • PFA normal
  • platelet aggregometry shows absent response to ristocetin
  • flow cytometry demonstrates absent Ib/IX/V
22
