Hemostasis/WBC/Anticoag Flashcards

1
Q

Platelet Plug

A
  1. Plts adhere to vWF through GPIb
  2. Plts adhere to collagen through GPIa
  3. Plts aggregate when GPLLb binds to fibrinogen after plts are activated (CAT)
  4. Act plts secrete ADP and thromboxane = vasoconstriction and factor Va

Q

Coag Cascade: Form a fibrin clot

A
  1. Endo makes TF
  2. TF activates VII
  3. VIIa activates X and IX
  4. II (pro) to IIa (thrombin)
  5. IIa makes fibrinogen into fibrin
  6. XIII crosslinks to make stable clot

Q

Prothrombin Time

A

-Time for conversion of prothrombin to thrombin
-VII dependent paths
-Performed by adding TF to plasma
-Often converted to INR (2-3)
-Best for Coumadin therapy
