hemostatsis and thrombosis Flashcards
Hemostasis
caused by:
- “the arrest of blood loss from damaged blood vessels”
- Essential to life
- Caused by:
- Platelet adhesion and activation
- Fibrin formation
Thrombosis
- “pathological formation of a ‘hemostatic plug’ within the vasculature in the absence of bleeding”
- Hemostasis in the wrong place
- Virchow’s triad
Virchow’s triad
White Thrombus
- Arterial clot
- Primarily platelets and some fibrin mesh
- Associated with atherosclerosis
Red Thrombus
- Venous clot
- Mostly fibrin and small amount of platelets
- Higher risk of embolus
Coagulation Cascade
Antithrombin III
Prevents coagulation
by lysing
Factor Xa and Thrombin
Thrombin (Factor IIa) also causes?
also causes platelet activation
Intrinsic Pathway:
* All components present in?
* Starts when blood comes in contact with? or?
* Monitored by?
- All components present in the blood
- Starts when blood comes in contact with foreign object or damaged endothelium
- Monitored by Activated Partial Thromboplastin time (aPTT)
Extrinsic Pathway
- Some components come from outside blood
- Tissue factor
- Starts when tissue damage releases tissue factor
- Monitored by Prothrombin time (PT) and INR
Vitamin K
- Fat soluble vitamin with little stored in the body
- Most vitamin K obtained from diet or produced by bacteria in the gut
- Vitamin K is a cofactor in the formation of several clotting factors
vitamin K dependent factors

Fibrinolysis
Anticoagulant Medication classes
Warfarin
Mechanism of Action**
- Acts only in vivo
- Inhibits vitamin K epoxide reductase component 1
(VKORC1) - The VKORC1 gene is polymorphic resulting in different affinities for warfarin
- Genetic testing is available for this polymorphism
Warfarin Pharmacokinetics
* Rapidly absorbed after?
* Highly bound to?
* metab where? implication?
* Onset of action?
* Half-life?
* Requires what to be achieved?
* Vitamin K dependent clotting factors?
* Effects of dose change requires?
- Rapidly absorbed after oral administration
- Highly bound to plasma proteins (i.e. albumin)
- Hepatically metabolized (CYP 450 2C9 and 3A4)
- Polymorphism of CYP 450 2C9
- Onset of action 5-7 days
- Half-life is ~ 40 hours
- Requires new steady-state of clotting factors to be achieved
- Vitamin K dependent clotting factors: II, VII, IX, X, protein C, protein S
- Effects of dose change require 2-3 days to presen
Warfarin Effect of coagulation parameters
Warfarin
Adverse Drug Reactions
- Bleeding (can be life threatening), GI bleeding most common
- Rash
- Skin necrosis
- Taste disturbance
- “Purple toe” syndrome
Drugs that change hepatic metabolism of warfarin
- Inhibition = more effect of warfarin = elevated INR
- Induction = less effect of warfarin = decreased INR
Drugs that displace warfarin from protein binding sites
- More free drug = more effect of warfarin = elevated INR
Drugs that change vitamin K levels effect on warfarin
- Broad spectrum antibiotics reduce GI flora = less vitamin K and more effect of warfarin = elevated INR
- Intake of vitamin K decreases effect of warfarin = decreased INR
Drugs that increase risk of bleeding w warfarin
- ASA and NSAIDS inhibit platelet function = increased risk of bleeding

warfarin interactions
* Increased effect with?
* Decreased effects with?
- Increased effect with NSAIDs, antibiotics, acetaminophen?
- Decreased effects with barbiturates
Warfarin (Vitamin K Antagonist)
Dental Implications
- Most procedures can be done without holding
- For dental procedure that may result in excessive bleeding consult prescribing physician to adjust dose or hold if possible
- Consider local hemostasis measures to prevent
excessive bleeding - Check INR level prior to performing a dental surgical
procedure - Antibiotic use after dental procedure may increase risk of bleeding
Heparin
Mechanism of Action
- Inhibits coagulation in vivo and in vitro
- Activation of antithrombin III
- Increases antithrombin III affinity for Factor Xa and Thrombin
Heparin
Pharmacokinetics
* Not absorbed from?
* Administered?
* onset?
* Half-life?
- Not absorbed from the gastrointestinal (GI) tract
- Administered intravenously (IV) or subcutaneously (SQ)
- Fast onset: immediate after IV, 60 minutes after SQ
- Half-life is ~ 40-90 minutes
heparin effects on coagulation parameters:
Heparin
Adverse Drug Reactions
- Bleeding (can be life threatening), Protamine can reverse effects (binds heparin)
- Thrombosis
- Heparin associated thrombocytopenia (HAT)
- Heparin induced thrombocytopenia (HIT)
- Osteoporosis- with long-term treatment, mechanism unclear
- Aldosterone inhibition= hyperkalemia
- Hypersensitivity reaction
Heparin moa
- MOA: Activation of antithrombin III leading to
inhibition of thrombin and factor Xa
heparin adrs
bleeding, thrombosis, osteoporosis, hyperkalemia, hypersensitivity
heparin interactions/dental
- Drug-Drug interactions: none of significance to dentistry
- Dental implications: none beyond bleeding
Low Molecular Weight Heparin (LMWH)
Mechanism of Action
- Inhibits coagulation in vivo and in vitro
- Smaller portion of the heparin molecule
- Not large enough to interact with thrombin
- Activation of antithrombin III
- Increases antithrombin III affinity for Factor Xa but NOT thrombin
Low Molecular Weight Heparin (LMWH)
Pharmacokinetics
* Not absorbed from?
* Administered how?
* onset/response?
* Cleared by?
* Half-life?
- Not absorbed from the GI tract
- Administered subcutaneously (SQ)
- Fast onset and predictable response
- Cleared by the kidneys
- Half-life is 4.5-7 hours

LMWH do NOT require monitoring of coagulation parameters
