hypercoagulation state scheme Flashcards
what is virchows triad?
venous stasis
vascular injury
hypercoagulability
what is the most common acquired thrombophilia?
antiphospholipid antibody syndrome
what are the two vasodilators that inhibit platelet aggregation?
NO and prostacyclin
what are the two vasoconstrictors that facilitate platelet aggregation?
endothelin 1
thromboxane A2
is vascular smooth muscle unitary or multiunit?
both
what binds to Ca in vascular smooth muscle to cause contraction?
calmodulin
how many ways does Ca enter vascular smooth muscle cells
3!
voltage gated. IP3, ligand gated g proteins
what causes vascular smooth muscle to use less ATP than skeletal muscle for contraction?
Latch state: myosin dephosphorylated while still attached
what releases endothelin 1?
damaged vascular endothelium
what releases thromboxane A2?
platelets
how is NO produced?
from L-arginine through nitric oxide synthase
what is serum?
plasma minus the clotting factors
what is the buffy coat?
WBCs that make up 1% of Hct
what is plasma?
ECF + plasma proteins: albumin, fibrinogen, and globulins
what is the purpose of albumin?
transport protein
prevents edema
what clotting substances do platelets release?
thromboplastin and plasmin
what does thromboplastin do?
converts prothrombin to thrombin
what does thrombin do?
converts fibrinogen to fibrin
what makes prothrombin and firbrinogen
liver
what does plasmin do?
clot contraction
why are arterial clots called white clots?
trap mostly platelets
why are venous clots called red clots?
trap mostly RBCs and fibrin
what are the 4 major events of hemostasis
vasoconstriction, platelet actions, fibrin clot formation, fibrinolysis
what does TPA do?
activate fibrinolysis by activating plasmin
what is primary hemostasis?
platelet plug formation
what is secondary hemostasis?
fibrin clot formation
what do alpha granules in platelets release?
fibrinogen
factor V
factor VIII
how do platelets bind to each other?
bind through the GP IIB/IIIA and fibrinogen
what do dense granules release?
Ca
ADP
serotonin
how does aspirin block platelet aggregation?
blocks Cox 1 so TXA2 release
how does vorapaxar block platelet aggregation
blocks thrombin receptor PAR
how does abciximab, tirofiban, eptifibitide block platelet aggregation
block IIB/IIIA receptor
how does clopidogrel block platelet aggregation?
blocks ADP receptor
what two proteins block coagulatin?
protein C and S
where are the Vitamin K dependent CFs made?
liver
which CFs need vitamin K?
Prothrombin
VII
IX
X
what is the key step in Vitamin K cycle?
carboxylation of glutamic residues
what coagulation study looks at the extrinsic coagulation cascade?
PT/INR
what coagulation study looks at the intrinsic coagulation cascade?
aPTT
prothrombinase complex consists of?
X + Va + Ca -> thrombin
extrinsic tenase complex composed of?
VIIa via VII and Ca
intrinsic tenase complex composed of?
IX a + VIII
what inhibits initiation of secondary hemostasis?
TFP1
what initiates secondary hemostasis amplification?
thrombin
what do the extrinsic and intrinsic tenases ultimately do?
activate factor X
amplification stage of secondary hemostais leads to?
thrombin burst
what inhibits fibrinolysis naturally/
PAI & alpha 2 antiplasmin
what activates protein C?
thrombomodulin
what does protein C inhibit?
Factors V and VIII
what drug can inhibit the extrinsic pathway?
vitamin K antagonist like coumadin
what pathway does heparin block?
intrinsic
what are the 4 types of inherited thrombophilias?
factor V leiden mutations
protein C def
protein S def
antithrombin def.
how does factor V leiden mutation cause thrombosis?
protein C cant inactivate factor V -> inc. thrombin -> inc. fibrin
most common congenital thrombophilia?
factor V leiden
AD on Chr 1
when can antithrombin III def. be acquired?
with nephrotic syndrome
antiphospholipid antibody syndrome characterized by?
thromboembolic event (by act. coag cascade)
pregnancy related complications
thrombocytopenia
how does the autoantibody to apolipoprotein H lead to thrombosis?
block protein C and protein S
what is the most common acquired blood protein defects?
lupus anticoagulant/antiphospholipid antibody
