Second Shig.a toxin

Thrombocytopenia - microangiopathis hemolytic anemia -acute renal failure

82
Q

A

neuro abnormalities
microangiopathic hemolytic anemia
thrombocytopenia purpura
fever
abnormal renal fx

typically adults

84
Q

HUS clinical

A

bloody diarrhea usually
vomiting –> dehydration and hyponatremia

acute renal failure d/t direct effects of toxin on kidney
decreased urine output
uremia

thrombocytopenia
purpura, petechia, oozing blood

no fever or neuro findings usually except secondary to decompensation

usually kids <5 w/ recent diarrheal infection

85
Q

Bernard soulier sx

87
Q

glanzmann thrombasthenia sx

A

GPIIb/IIIa - fibrinogen can’t bind platelets together
autosomal recessive

normal platelet morphology but no clumping

may cooccur w/ leukocyte adhesion deficiency

88
Q

Glanzmann thrombasthemia tx

A

7a
HSCT
platelet or blood transfusion

common presentation:
- infant w/ severe infection
- delayed detachment of umbilical cord
- easy bruising/bleeding
- Fix

89
Q

gray platelet syx

A

reduction or absence of alpha granule - minimal to no platelet plug formation
giant, pale platelets

inheritance depends on genes

90
Q

uremia coags

A

decreased platelet aggregation
decreased granule secretion i.e fx

91
Q

factor 5 leiden

A

most common thrombotic disorder
constitutively active F5
hereditary - because it cannot bind and be cleaved by protein C

92
Q

APLS

A

most common acquired thrombotic disorder

93
Q

heparin resistant thrombotic disorder

A

antithrombin deficiency
heparin potentiates antithrombin so does nothing if it’s deficient
high doses might still work

very uncommon

94
Q

budd chiari syx

A

obstruction of hepatic vein
abd pain - hepatomegaly

as an uncommon site for clotting raises suspicion of a thrombotic disorder

95
Q

AT deficiency test

A

heparin cofactor assay first
AT antigen levels next
rarely genetic testing

96
Q

reasons to test for thrombotic disorders

A

at least one unprovoked DVT/other clot
Recurrent clotting episodes
Unusual locations

97
Q

warfarin induced skin necrosis

A

can occur in anyone but Protein C+S deficiency confers highest risk
should prompt evaluation for C+S deficiency

happens b/c warfarin decreases synthesis of most clotting factors including anti-coags C+S. C+S decrease fastest meaning there is a transient hypercoag period. If C+S are already deficient this is extreme.

tx: d/c warfarin
avoid by bridging w/ heparin (doesn’t work as well in C+S deficient but does help in normal)

98
Q

purpura fulminans

A

acute rapid widespread coagulability including hemorrhagic necrosis and skin infarction
usually d/t C+S deficiency
