Q

Normal PT and APTT results in a patient with a poor wound healing may be associated with:

A

Factor XIII deficiency

Factor XIII deficiency can lead to impaired wound healing and may cause severe bleeding problems. Factor XIII is a fibrin stabilizing factor that changes the fibrinogen bonds in fibrin polymers to stable covalent bonds. Factor XIII is not involved in the process of fibrin formation and, therefore, the PT and APTT are both normal.

Q

Which results are associated with hemophilia A?

A

Prolonged APTT, normal PT

Hemophilia A is associated with factor VIII deficiency. Factor VIII is a factor in the intrinsic coagulation pathway that is evaluated by the APTT and not the PT test. The PT test evaluates the extrinsic and common pathways.

Q

Which defect characterizes Gray’s syndrome?

A

Alpha granule defect

Gray’s syndrome is a platelet granule defect associated with a decrease in alpha granules resulting in decreased production of alpha granule proteins such as platelet factor 4 and beta thromboglobulin. Alpha granule deficiency results in the appearance of agranular platelets when viewed on a Wright’s stained blood smear.
