Q

haemostasis brief process

A
  1. localised vasoconstriction - dec blood flow to injury site + stops blood loss
  2. primary haemostasis (platelet plug form) - plugs breach in blood vessel
  3. secondary haemostasis (blood clotting/coagulation) - strengthens + reinforces platelet plug
  4. tertiary haemostasis (fibrinolysis) - dissolves clot once blood vessel integrity restored

Q

localised vasoconstriction

A
  • injured blood vessel constricts
  • mediated by reflex neurogenic mechanisms + released—> vasoconstrictor (e.g. endothelin)
  • transient - lasts up to 30 mins
  • briefly reduces blood loss to injury site

Q

platelet adhesion

A
  • on endothelial injury, platelets bind —> exposed subendothelial matrix proteins (e.g. collagen)
  • bind via transmembrane glycoprotein receptors —>

> GP1b-IX-V binds von willebrand factor
GPVI + alpha-2-beta-1 (GPIa-IIa) binds directly to collagen
GP1c/IIa binds fibronectin

platelet activation

A

UNDERGOES CHANGES

shape change - discoid shape —> elongated cells with cytoplasmic extensions

granule release -
> alpha granules: vwf, p-selection, FV + FXIII
> dense granules: ADP, serotonin, ca2+

membrane phospholipid metabolism —> inc thromboxane A2 (TXA2) prod

activation + expression of GPIIb/IIIa receptors

Q

platelet aggregation + plug formation

A
  • agonist activated platelet GPIIb/IIIa receptors bind fibrinogen
  • —> crossbridges with platelets next to
  • —> formation of primary haemostatic plug

plug only good for haemorrhage in small blood vessels

Q

intrinsic

A

SLOW (when blood in contact with collagen in damaged blood vessel)

  • PK
  • HMW K
  • factor XII, XI, IX, VIII
  1. FXII (hageman factor) = primary complex with HMWK + PK on collagen —> activation of FXII
  2. FXIIa activates FXI -> activates -> FIX
  3. FIXa = complex with FVIIa, ca2+ + phosphatidylserine (intrinsic tenase)
  4. —> activates FX (common pathway) —> thrombin gen
17
Q

extrinsic

A

FAST (traumatic injury)
- interaction between TF, FVII and ca2+

TF (FIII, tissue thromboplastin)

  • cell bound glycoprotein
  • in extravascular tissues e.g. fibroblasts
  • exposed to blood when endothelial barrier breached
  1. contact with blood, extravascular cells release TF
  2. TF forms complex with FVII + ca2+ (extrinsic tenase)
  3. TF-FVIIa complex activates FX of common pathway —> thrombin gen)
    can activated FX on intrinsic pathway (alternative pathway)
18
Q

common

A
  • factor X , V
  • factor II ( prothrombin)
  • factor I (converts fibrinogen —> fibrin)
  1. activation of FX
  2. conversion of prothrombin (FII) to thrombin (FIIa)
  3. cleavage of fibrinogen (FI) to fibrin (FIa)
  4. polymerisation of fibrin
  5. stabilisation of fibrin polymers by FXIII
19
Q

what are the limitations of the coagulation cascade model?

A
  • doesn’t fully explain how blood clots in vivo
  • assumes intrinsic + extrinsic pathways independently capable of initiating clot form
  • deficiency of FXII, HMWK, PK doesn’t lead to bleeding tendency
  • FVIII/IX deficiency —> serious bleeding tendency. even through extrinsic pathway intact
  • FVII deficiency —> serious bleeding tendency. even though intrinsic pathway intact
20
Q

modern cell based model

A

secondary haemostasis happens in different overlapping steps

  • initiation
  • amplification
  • propagation

needs 2 cell types:

  • TF-bearing cells
  • platelets ———> kept apart until vascular injury
21
Q

modern cell based model

initiation

A
  • TF released from injured cells + monocytes
  • TF + FVIIa —> TF/FVIIa complex
  • TF/FVIIa activates small amount FIX + FX —> generates small amount thrombin
  • FXII have minor role in activation of FXI
22
Q

modern cell based model

amplification

A
  • thrombin activates FV to Va
  • FVIII —> FVIIIa + activates more platelets
  • also activates FXI to FXIa
23
Q

modern cell based model

propagation

A
  • FXa produced when TF/FVIIa complex activates FIX
  • FIXa + FVIIIa —> tenase complex
  • —> converts more FX to FXa
  • FXa + FVa + ca + phoshoplipid (PL) surface (activated platelets) form prothrombinase complex
  • turns prothrombin —> thrombin (large amounts)
24
Q

tertiary haemostasis

A

fibrinolysis

  • ensures localisation of fibrin clot formation + clot removal
  • carried out by plasmin (proteolytic enzyme)
  • degrades fibrin mesh
  1. release of plasminogen activators (t-PA, FXIIIa, v-PA, kallikrein)
  2. plasmin produced from inactive precursor, plasminogen
  3. clot lysis + release of degradation products
25
Q

regulation of haemostasis

A
  • primary + secondary haemostasis restricted to local site of vascular injury
  • size of primary + secondary plugs restricted —> keep blood vessels patent
  • fibrinolytic system regulated —> ensure removal of unwanted fibrin clots + preservation of fibrin
  • regulation achieved via ENDOGENOUS antithrombotic + antifibrinolytic systems
26
Q

endothelium mechanism of action

A

global haemostasis: physical barrier

primary haemostasis: secrete platelet antagonists (nitric oxide, ADPase, prostacyclin)

secondary haemostasis: expresses thromobmodulin
- binds thrombin + activates protein C (inhibits co-factors FVa, FVIIa) + endothelial protein c receptor
- expresses surface heparin-like (glycosaminoglycans)
—> enhances AT and TFPI activity

fibrinolysis: secrete fibrinolytic inhibit e.g. plasminogen activation inhibitor - 1 and 2

27
Q

plasma proteins (protease inhibitors) mechanism of action

A

global haemostasis: produced in liver

e.g. alpha2 - macroglobulin
alpha1 - antitrypsin

acts as non-specific inhibition of serum proteases

28
Q

regulators of secondary haemostasis

tissue factor pathway inhibitor

A
  • made in endothelial cells
  • inhibits TF-FVIIa + TF-FVIIa-FXa complex
  • inhibits free factor Xa generation by TF-FVIIa complex (initiation of secondary haemostasis)
29
Q

antithrombin III (AT III)

A
  • made in liver
  • inhibits FIIa, FXa, FXIIa, FIXa, FXIa, TF-FVIIa

30
Q

protein c

A
  • vitamin k dependent
  • made in liver
  • plasma glycoprotein
  • inactivates FVa, FVIIa
  • activated by thrombin via binding to thrombomodulin on endo. cells
