Hemodynamics Flashcards
Deficiency in vW factor
Von Willebrand disease
Deficiency in Gp1b
Bernard Soulier syndrome
Deficiency of GpIIb-IIIa complex
Glanzmann thrombasthenia
Post-Mortem clot
Contains the lines of Zahn and is typically NOT attached to endothelial cell wall
Virchow’s triad: thrombus dev.
Stasis
Endothelial damage
Hypercoagulable state
Protection against thrombus formation
- Endothelial cells themselves block contact with sub endo collagen from interacting with platelets.
- PGI2
Heparin-like molecules
Activate antithrombin III
- block thrombin and inhibits coag factors
- produced by endothelial cells
TPA
- converts plasminogen -> plasmin which cleaves fibrin, or serum fibrinogen
- it destroys clotting factors
- blocks platelet aggregation
Thrombomodulin
- modulates thrombin to activate protein C which in turn inactivates factor V and VIII (important amplifying factors in the coag cascade)
Homocysteine in thrombosis
Increased levels -> damage endothelial cells
- this result from folate/B12 deficiency
Causes of increased hydrostatic pressure: 2 mechanisms and local vs. systemic
Impaired venous return - DVT (local) - CHF (systemic) Arteriolar dilation - heat - neurohumoral days regulation
Decrease in plasma oncotic pressure
- Albumin loss: nephrotic disease
- low albumin: liver damage, malnutrition (often both occur)
Na retention
Causes both increased hydrostatic pressure and decreased colloid osmotic pressure - results from primary kidney disorder, hypoperfusion, CHF et al.
Lympedema: 4 causes
Chronic inflammation (fibrosis)
Radiation
Infection
Auxiliary lymphadenectomy < über testable
Anasarca: definition and common location
Generalized widespread edema with tissue swelling
- subQ, periorbital, lungs, brain
Hyperemia vs. congestion
Hyperemia: active shunting of blood to a specific area
Congestion: increase local blood volume due to decreased outflow (passive)
Morphology of hyperemia and congestion
Lungs: dusky red, (acutely) engorged caps, focal intralviolar hemorrhage (chronically) thick, fibrotic septa, hemosiderin laden macs. (Heart failure cells)
Liver: nutmeg liver, small punctuate hemorrhages
Hemorrhage classification: (by size)
Petechiae: 1-3 mm
Purpura: 3-10 mm
Ecchymoses: >10 mm
Hematoma: a big ecchymoses
Alpha granules
Fibrinogen Fibronectin Factor V and VIII Platelet factor 4 (binds heparin) PDGF TGF-B
Dense granules
ADP ATP Ionized calcium Histamine Serotonin Epi
Activation of platelets
- vWF cross ridges with the platelet GPTNS to collagen sub endothelial tissue
- ionized Ca binds negatively charged surface GPTNS -> site for assembly of coagulation complexes
Events leading up to platelet plug (step 1)
- Thrombin binds receptor on platelet surface
- bound thrombin + ADP and TxA2 -> further aggregation
- contraction of platelet cytoskeleton (irreversible process)
Fibrin functions
Activated by thrombin
- crosslinks platelet plugin to a solid mesh work
- binds GpIIa-IIIb between two platelets
GpIIa-IIIb
Serves as fibronectin receptor crosslinking them into a solid mesh
Leukocytes in coagulation
- Adhere to platelets via P-selectins and contribute to inflammation
- thrombin - induces leukocyte/monocyte adhesion and generates fibrin spilt products
Vitamin K
Cofactor in the binding of factors II, VII, IX and X
- warfarin inhibits these processes
Function of thrombin: 5
Platelet activation Endothelial activation Monocyte activation Neutrophil adhesion Lymphocyte activation
Anti-thrombin III: source, action and clinical significance
Source: binding of HLMs on endo cells
Action: inhibits activity of thrombin and factors IX,X,XI and XII
Clinical sig: heparin enhances activation
Protein C and S: source and action
Source: vitamin K dependent proteins
Action: inhibits activated factors V and VII
