Hubbard thrombosis and hemostasis Flashcards
what is the most common cause of bleeding
thrombocytopenia
Normal PT?
tests what?
prolonged in what deficiencies?
prolonged with what drugs
- 10-13 seconds
- extrinsice system
- factors II, V, VII, X, and fibrinogen
- Warfarin or dicoumarol
Normal PTT?
test what?
Prolonged in what deficiencies?
prolonged with what drug?
- 25-40 seconds
- extrinsic
- factors VIII, IX, XI, XII
- Heparin
What is used to determine platelet abnormalities when platelets are normal in numbers (qualitative platelet defects)?
used for what diseases?
platelet aggregation studies
- vWB disease
- Bernard-Soulier syndrome
In patients with petechiae and thrombocytopenia, if you offer up the possibility of what causing it, you will look like a rockstar
medications
DIC is a complication of what situations?
- medical
- surgical
- obstetrical
- intrinsice and extrinsic coagulation systems are activation
- thrombin escapes (initial thrombosis stage may not be seen)
- platelets and clotting factors are depleted, causing bleeding
DIC
Treatment of DIC
- correction of underlying disorder–sepsis, bowel obstruction, etc
- Heparin .. not usually used unless overt thrombosis occurs
- supportive care–platelet and factor replacement
Microangiopathic hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia (<50,000), fever, neurological symptoms?
add renal failure to this?
TTP
HUS
- Schistocytes
- helmet cells
- “Waring blender” effect
TTP and HUS
pathologic lesion are hyaline thrombi which occlude the capillaries of virtually every organ in the body
TTP and HUS
2 forms of TTP
- hereditary mutation of ADAMTS13 gene
- acquired- autoantibodies directed at ADAMTS13
Treatment ofTTP
Plasmaphoresis–life saving in virtually 100% of cases
-Mortality virtually 100% if not treated
platelet aggregation tests abnormal, especially to ristocetin
vonWillebrand Disease
Treatment of vonWillebrand Disease
- Cryoprecipitate replaces vWF
- DDAVP causes release of vWF from endothelium
inheritance of Hemophilia A and B
X linked recessive
classifications of severity in hemophilia A
- mild (6-25% normal activity)
- moderate (1-5% normal activity)
- Severe (<1%)
Clinical features of hemophilia
- easy bleeding and bruisability
- hematomas from bleeding into soft tissue and muscles
- Hemarthroses
