  4. Induces platelet aggregation
24
Q

A
  1. Kalikrein
  2. Urokinase-like plasminogen activator
  3. Tissue-type plasminogen activator (tPA)
25
Why can DIC rapidly become a bleeding disorder?
There are many clots, which use up all of the clotting factors
26
What causes Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia? What is the result?
Cause: * development of Abs to heparin-platelet factor 4, which forms immune complexes which bind platelets and activate them Result: * Thromboses and thrombocytopenia (low number of platelets) due to aggregations
27
What is the cause of antiphospholipid antibody syndrome? What is the result?
Cause: * Abs to cardiolipin induce a hypercoagulable state Result: * Thrombocytopenia * Recurrent thrombi * Frequent miscarriages
28
What is the result of a Factor V gene mutation?
Hypercoagulability due to resistance of Factor V to inactivation by protein C
29
What is the result of Prothrombin gene mutation?
Elevated levels of prothrombin and hypercoagulability
30
Arterial vs Venous thrombi: 1. Cause 2. Direction of growth 3. Composition of Thrombi 4. Vessels most affected
Arterial: 1. Cause: * Endothelial damage * Turbulence 2. Direction of growth * Against flow (toward heart) 3. Composition of Thrombi: N/A 4. Vessels most affected * Coronary, cerebral, and femoral Venous: 1. Cause * Stasis 2. Direction of growth * With flow (direction of heart) 3. Composition of Thrombi * **RED THROMBI**: more RBCs due to stasis 4. Vessels most affected * veins of the legs
31
What are lines of Zahn? Where are they located?
Laminations associated with thrombi of heart or aorta. Pale layer = platelets and fibrin Dark layer = RBCs
32
What are mural thrombi? Where are they located? What are some causes?
Thrombi that form in the cardiac chambers or aortic lumen. Causes: * Cardiac: MI or abnormal contraction (fibrillation) * Aortic: ulceration of a plaque or aneurysm
33
Superficial vs Deep Venous Thrombi Where are they found? What is the result?
Superficial: * saphenous veins where there are varicosities * Result: varicose ulcers, rarely embolize Deep: * Femoral and iliac veins * Result: potential embolism (to lungs)

1. Venous occlusions 2. Loose tissue that allows blood to collect (with dual circulation) 3. Red color is due to collection of blood 4. Causes * tissues that were previously congested * re-establishment of blood flow to a necrotic site
41

47
What is the cytokine cascade associated with Septic Shock and what are the consequence?
48
Lungs are resistant to the effects of which type of shock?
Hypovolemic shock | (resistant to hypoxic injury)
49
Difference in initial septic shock vs other forms of shock (skin)
Most forms: skin is cool and cyanotic Septic: skin is red and warm
50
Describe the following phases of shock: 1. Nonprogressive 2. Progressive 3. Irreversible
1. Nonprogressive * reflex compensatory mechanisms maintain perfusion * tachycardia, vasoconstriction, retention of fluid by kidney 2. Progressive * Tissue hypoperfusion w/circulatory and metabolic imbalance * anaerobic glycolysis lowers pH and inhibits vasomotor response (vasodilation) 3. Irreversible * Severe cell injury and death
51
What is pictured?
Acute tubular necrosis associated with shock
52
What is pictured?
Contraction band necrosis
53
Clinical presentation of shock
