19
Q

what factor is deficient in haemophilia B?

A

20
Q

what factor is deficient in haemophilia A?

A

VIII

21
Q

describe the extrinsic pathway of fibrin formation

A

see notes

22
Q

describe the intrinsic pathway of fibrin formation

A

see notes

23
Q

name the most natural important anticoagulants

A

Antithrombin
TFPI
Activated protein C=protein S

24
Q

using a diagram describe the actions of TFPI in anticoagulation

A

binds to and inactivates VIIa and Xa

25
Q

using a diagram describe the actions of proteins C and S in anticoagulation

A

Va

26
Q

using a diagram describe the actions of AT in anticoagulation

A
thrombin
XIa
IXa
VIIIa
Xa
27
Q

using a diagram describe the process of fibrinolysis including natural inhibitors

A

endothelial cells produce plasminogen activators
tissue plasminogen activator = tPA
plasminogen has bridge which is cleaved by TPA to plasmin
plasmin breaks the fibrin clot down
degradation products
d-dimer = fibrin broken down by plasmin
natural inhibitors of plasminogen and plasmin
a2-antiplasmin can be issue in liver transplantation which ends up excessive fibrinolysis therefore bleeding occurs

28
Q

using a diagram describe the MoA of aspirin

A

see notes

29
Q

using a diagram describe the MoA of clopidogrel/prasugrel/ticagrelor

A

see notes

30
Q

using a diagram describe the MoA of abciximab/tirofibal/eptifivatide

A

see notes

31
Q

using a diagram describe the MoA of warfarin

A

Warfarin decreases blood clotting by blocking an enzyme called vitamin K epoxide reductase that reactivates vitamin K1.[5]Without sufficient active vitamin K1, clotting factors II, VII, IX, and X have decreased clotting ability.

32
Q

using a diagram describe the MoA of heparins

A

see notes

33
Q

using a diagram describe the MoA of rivaroxaban/edoxaban/apixaban

A

see notes

34
Q

when are the DOACS commonly used?

A

prevention of stroke, systemic emboli in AF

35
Q

using a diagram describe the MoA of dabigatran/bivalirudin/argatroan

A
