  3. coagulation cascade
134
Q

What molecule mediates platelet adhesion to ECM? How does it do this?

A

von Willebrand factor which binds to GpIb receptors to cause a change in shape of the platelets (smooth –> spiky)

135
Q

What causes the change platelet shape from smooth to spiky?

A

conformational change in GpIIb/IIIa receptors allows them to bind to fibrinogen. and fibrinogen can bind other platelets

136
Q

Describe the process of platelet aggregation

A

von Willebrand factor binds to GpIIb which causes a conf change in the platelet and receptors to allow the recpetors to bind fibrinogen. Many platelets can bind many fibrinogen molecules–> linking them all together

137
Q

At does ADP and TXA2 do when they are released from the granules of activated platelets?

A

recruit platelets and cause aggregation = formation of primary hemostatic plug

138
Q

On what stage of hemostatsis is the coagulation cascade activated?

A

3/secondary hemostasis

139
Q

What activates the coagulation cascade?

A

tissue factor = Clotting factor III (membrane bound procoagulant made by endothelium)

140
Q

What is thromboplastin?

A

a laboratory reagent that contains phosphilipids and tissue factor

141
Q

What is the role of thrombin (produced during coag cascade)?

A
  1. cleaves fibrinogen into fibrin
  2. stimulates platelets to release TXA2
  3. activates monocytes and lymphocytes
  4. activates endothelium for neutrophil adherence and
  5. stimulates endothelium to release NO, tissue plasminogen factor, and prostacyclin
142
Q

What is thrombomodulin and what is its role?

A

expressed on the surface of endothelial cells and binds thrombin so that together they can activate C reactive protein –> anticoagulation effect

143
Q

What molecules are players in the fibrolytic system?

A 
tissue plasminogen activator
plasmin 
tissue factor pathway inhibitor
antithrombin III
heparin-like molecules 
protein S
urokinase
144
Q

What does deficiency in von Willibrand factor lead to?

A

excessive bleeding with surgery or menstruation

145
Q

What does overactivity of von Willibrand factor lead to?

A

abnormally large multimers of it leads to a tendency to clot in small blood vessels and then excessive bleeding from having used up too many platelets and clotting factors

146
Q

What is thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura?

A

overactivation of von Willie brand factor = tendency to clot in small blood vessels and then excessive bleeding from having used up too many platelets and clotting factors

147
Q

What does deficiency in GpIb receptors cause?

A

excessive bleeding (Bernard-Soulier syndrome, rare)

148
Q

Deficiency of platelet GpIIb/IIIa receptors causes…

A

a bleeding tendency due to deficient platelet aggregation (Glanzmann thrombasthenia, rare)

149
Q

Some snake venoms contain substances that bind to _______, mimicking Glanzmann thrombasthenia syndome.

A

platelet GpIIb/IIIa receptors

150
Q

What is the MOA of clopidogrel (Plavix)?

A

blocks platelet ADP receptors and is taken orally by patients who have suffered clotting of their critical coronary

  • ADP induces the conformational change that mediates the binding of platelet GpIIb/IIIa receptors to fibrinogen and other platelets –> aggregation
151
Q

T or F: In sickle cell disease, when polymerization of the abnormal hemoglobin deforms the erythrocytes, they get stuck in small blood vessels and this occlusion leads to stasis predisposing to thrombosis.

A

true

152
Q

What is the most common inherited hyper-coagulable state?

A

Factor V Leiden mutation (5% of whites affected)

This mutation in clotting factor V makes it resistant to activated protein C, resulting in the loss of an important clot-limiting counter-regulatory mechanism.

153
Q

Factor V Leiden mutations: Heterozygotes have a ___-fold higher risk of venous thrombosis and homozygotes have a ___-fold increased risk

A

5; 50

154
Q

What is the 2nd most common inherited hyper-coagulable state?

A

Prothrombin G20210A mutation (2% of whites affected)

155
Q

Prothrombin G20210A mutation confers a __-fold increased risk of venous thrombosis.

A

3

156
Q

Why does surgery lead to a hyper-coagulable state?

A

Surgery cuts blood vessels, which activates platelets and clotting factors, which are not all used at the surgical site. Some of these activated platelets and clotting factors inevitably get swept into the general circulation, rendering operative and postoperative patients hypercoagulable

157
Q

Why can cancer place a patient in a hyper-coagulable state?

A
  1. there is an inflammatory response to malignant tumors
    2, malignant tumors outgrow their blood supply and have some necrosis, which releases highly thrombogenic necrotic debris into the general circulation –> ??
  2. tumors commonly compress veins or invade them –> obstructing blood flow –> turbulence or stasis –> predisposition to thrombosis
158
Q

Why is antiphospholipid Ab syndrome life threatening?

A

it causes arterial thrombosis due to autoantibodies against phospholipids

159
Q

What is the epidemiology of Antiphospholipid antibody syndrome?

A

common in young females

160
Q

T or F: Most patients with a “lupus anticoagulant” do not have lupus and all are hypercoagulable

A

true

161
Q

WHat is the presentation of pt with a lupus anticoagulant

A 
recurrent miscarriages
deep vein thromboses in their legs
cerebral infarctions
migraine headaches
cardiac vegetations
ischemic hands or feet
thrombocytopenia
162
Q

Antiphospholipid antibodies are present in___% of asymptomatic individuals

A

1-5%

163
Q

Arterial thrombi are usually at

A

sites of endothelial injury

164
Q

Venous thrombi are most commonly at

A

165
Q

Venous thrombi tend to grow on the side ______ to the heart

A

closer

166
Q

The (oldest or newest) parts of thrombi are the most likely to be organized and densely adherent to the blood vessel

A

A

newest

168
Q

_______ has been the most standard modality for diagnosing deep vein thrombosis in the legs

A

Ultrasound examination

*but obesity can give false negative

169
Q

T or F: The bigger the vegetation, the more likely it is infected.

A

True: the growth of the infecting organisms is added to the growing clot

170

Where can organization occur?

A

pneumonias
exudates
injuries
