Haemostasis 2 Flashcards
1
Q
Examples of rare bleeding disorders
A
- factor XI, VII, V, X, II (prothrombin) deficiency
- factor XIII and fibrinogen
- combined V & VIII, vit K dependent factors deficiency
- Glanzmanns
- Bernard Soulier
2
Q
Features of rare bleeding disorders
A
- CNS, GI, haemarthroses, haematomas less frequent
- mucosal bleeding
- menorrhagia in 50%
- broadly less life/limb threatening
3
Q
FVII deficiency Blood Count
A
Abnormal PT
Normal APTT
4
Q
FVII, FIX, FXI deficiency blood count
A
Normal PT
Abnormal APTT
5
Q
Fibrinogen, FII, FV, FV + VIII, FX deficiency blood count
A
Abnormal PT
Abnormal APTT
6
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
7
Q
Treatment of factor XI deficiency
A
- plasma derived factor concentrate
- avoid concurrent tranexamic acid
- aim low normal levels
- long half life
- consider thromboprophylaxis
8
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
9
Q
Features of factor V deficiency
A
- generally mild
- early, severe presentation
- check VIII level
- no concentrate available
- plasma (solvent detergent FFP)
10
Q
Factor V and VIII deficiency
A
- generally mild
- VIII and V genetics
- treatment = VIII concentrate, DDAVP, plasma
11
Q
Fibrinogen deficiency
A
- bleeding and thrombotic risks
- quantitative = afibrinogenaemia/hypofibrinogenaemia
- qualitative = dysfibrinogenaemia
- coexist = hypodysfibrinogenaemia
- potential severe bleeding
- umbilical cord bleeding
12
Q
Difference between cryoprecipitate vs fibrinogen concentrate
A
- both for fibrinogen deficiency
- both plasma derived
- cryo not pathogen inactivated
- fibrinogen concentrate activated by heat
13
Q
Causes of fibrinogen deficiency in pregnancy
A
Recurrent miscarriage
Abruption and PPH
14
Q
Fibrinogen replacement in pregnancy
A
- clearance increases during pregnancy
- aim >1g/l during pregnancy
- aim >2g/l for delivery
15
Q
Factor II deficiency
A
- variable phenotype
- prothrombin complex conc.. and plasma
- COCP for menorrhagia
