Hemostasis Flashcards
Symptoms of Pulmonary Edema
Dyspnea
Orthopnea
Paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea
Heart Failure Cells
Hemosiderin-laden macrophages in the alveolar spaces that can be seen w/ chronic pulmonary congestion
Process of ecchymosis healing
Hemoglobin (red-blue) =» Bilirubin (blue-green) =» Hemosiderin (gold-brown)
Hemorrage
Can manage up to 20% loss before shock occurs
Sentinal Node Biopsy
Reduces the number of axillary dissections needed for breast-cancer staging =» reduced comorbidity of breast cancer
PFA
Prolonged collagen/EDI; normal collagen/ADP =» Drug induced issue
Prolonged both =» platelet abnormality (possible vWF)
Leukocytoclastic vasculitis
Destruction of the vascular wall due to the deposition of drug-induced immune complexes
Henoch-Schonlein Purpura
Systemic hypersensitivity disease in which immune complexes deposit in the vascular wall
*Colicky abdominal pain, AGN, polyarthralgia
Immune Thrombocytopenic Purpura
Chronic: IgG autoab against platelet that are prominently removed by the spleen (will be congested and have fulminant macros)
*BM will have increased megakaryocytes w/ left-shifted maturation
Treatment: Immunosuppression, rituximab
Acute: Abrupt, normally self-limiting but can progress to acute
Heparin Induced Thrombocytopenia
Type I: Direct platelet aggregation caused by heparin a couple days after administration; common and clinically insignificant
Type II: Abs directed against Platelet Factor 4 complex result in agglutination and thrombosis; **can be life-threatening
-LMW heparin is LESS LIKELY to cause but cannot cure it
TTP
Caused by an ADAMTS deficiency =» accumulation of HMW multimers of vWF and aggregation
Classic pentad: 1. Fever
2. Thrombocytopenia 3. Microangiopathic hemolytic anemia 4. Renal failure * 5. Neurologic symptoms
Treatment: Plasma exchange to remove antibody
*DO NOT GIVE PLATELETS; MAKES IT WORSE
Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome
Presents as bloody diarrhea and subsequent renal failure following an infection by E.coli 0157:H7
Treatment: Supportive care; plasma exchange
Can suffer irreparable renal damage
Bernard-Soulier Syndrome
Deficiency of platelet Gp-Ib complex where platelets bind to vWF; AR inheritance
*Giant platelets
Labs: Everything can cause aggregation except ristocetin
Glanzmann’s Thrombasthenia
Deficiency of Gp-IIIb-IIa where fibrinogen crosslinks platelets
Labs: Only ristocetin can cause aggregation
vonWillebrand Disease
Most common bleeding disorder that presents as prolonged bleeding from cuts, menorrhagia, and GI bleeding
-Abnormal PFA and PTT
Type I and III =» quantitative (III more severe)
Hemophilia A
Factor VIII deficiency that presents w/ easy bruising, menorrhagia, and *hemarthrosis
Labs: Prolonged PTT
-Will not see mucous membrane bleeding or petechiae
Treatment: Humate P/ recombinant Factor VIII
