Test to measure heparin
What factors
PTT
II, IX, X, XI, XII - intrinsic
Test to measure warfarin
What factors
PT
Vit K dep: II, VII, IX, X, c ans d s- extrinsic
Proper way to anticoagulate
Start LMWH or until PTT therapeutic on unfractionated heparin then start warfarin
Because warfarin inhibits protein C and S - cause short period of hypercoagulability after starting
Only clotting factors not made by liver
vWF and VIII
Food with lots of Vit K
green veggies
Signs of TTP HUS
Nasty Fever Torched His Kidneys Neuro Fever Thrombocytopenia Hemolytic anemia Kidney failure
ASA mechanisms
Inhibits plt aggergation by inhibiting COX activity to suppresses TXA2 synthesis
Thienopyridines (clopidogrel, ticlopidine) mechanism
Block ADP receptors to suppress fibrinogen binding to injury and plt adhesion
GP IIb/IIIA inhibitors (abciximab, tirofiban, eptifibatide)
Inhibit plt aggregation by binding GP IIB/IIIA receptors
Adenosine reuptake inhibitors (dipyridamole) mechanism
Inhibit adenosine deaminase and PDE to inhibit plt aggregation
Heparin mechanisms
Bind to antithrombin to increase activity and prevent clot
LMWH (enoxaparin, dalteparin) mechanism
Bind factor Xa to prevent clot formation
SAFEST DURING PREGNANCY
Direct thrombin inhibitors (lepirudin, argatroban)
Highly selective inhibitors of thrombin to suppress factors V, IX, XIII and plt aggregation
Direct factor Xa inhibitors (fondaparinux)
Highly selective inhibition factor Xa without thrombin activity
