hemostasis Flashcards
hemostasis
using platelets, coagulation factors, and fibrin to stop bleeding after injury to vessels
coagulation factors
- zymogen
- -> k dependent
- -> K independent
- cofactors
- non protein cofactors
- fibrinogen and factor XIII
k dependent coagulation factors
2, 7, 9, 10, C, and S
intrinsic pathway
12 –> 12a
11 –> 11a
9 –> 9a
8 –> 8a
extrinsic pathway
7 + TF –> 7 a
calcium
phospholipid bilayer
common pathway
X –> Xa
prothrombin
factor II; forms thrombin
thrombin
activates fibrinogen to form fibrin
fibrinogen
D – E – D
BB AA Y
fibrin
B and A
d-dimer
molecule degradation product of cross-linked fibrin; it reflects ongoing activation of the hemostatic system
with a patient who has a low pretest probability of clot … d-dimer would help rule out clot if the results are
negative
primary hemostasis
vasoconstriction and platelet
secondary hemostasis
coagulation factors
tertiary hemostasis
fibrin
