Krafts- Bleeding Disorders Flashcards
What is the difference between platelet bleeding and factor bleeding?
Platelet–superficial, petechiae, spontaneous
Factor- deep (joints), big bleeds, trauma
What are the hereditary bleeding disorders?
vW Disease
Hemo A
Hemo B
Hereditary platelet disorders
What are the acquired bleeding disorders?
DIC
ITP
TTP/HUS
What is the most common BLEEDING DISORDER? How is it inherited?
vW disease
autosomal dominant
What happens in vW disease?
vW factor is decreased or abnoromal--> variable severity (can die from 1st menses)
What is vW factor?
Multimeric protein that is decreased or abnormal in vW disease
made by megs or endothelial cells
glues platelets to endothelium
carries factor VIII (if not carried VIII degrades)
What are the sxs associated w/ vW disease?
mucosal bleeding (nose bleeds, heavy menses, bruising)
Deep joint bleeding in severe cases
What are the types of vWD?
1: 70% decreased vWF
2: 25% abnormal vWF
3: 5% no vWF
What tests are indicative of vWD disease?
Bleeding time: prolonged
PTT: prolonged (d/t increase in factor VIII)
vWF decreased
Platelet aggregation studies abnormal
INR= normal
How do you treat vW disease?
DDAVP (raises VII and vWF levels)–releases vWF froms tores
cyroprecipitate (contains vWF and VIII)
Facotr VIII
What is the most common factor deficiency?
How is it inherited?
Hemophilia A
X linked recessive (30% are random mutations)
What happens in hemo A?
Factor VIII levels are decreased>
variable amt of factor bleeding
What are the sxs of hemo A?
Depends on amt of VIII
Typical factor bleeding (usually after trauma)
Prolonged bleeding after dental work
rarely mucosal hemorrahge
What tests are normal in hemo A?
INR, TT, platelet count, bleeding time (normal b/c nothing wrong w/ platelets)
What test are abnormal in hemo A?
PTT: prolonged
Factor VIII assays
DNA studies
How do you treat hemo A?
DDAVP FActor VII (don't give often b/c pt will produce Ab against it)
What is the main difference between hemo A and B?
A- factor 8
B- factor 9
much less common than hemo A
How are hemo A and B similar?
Same inheritance pattern (x-linked recessive)
same clnical and lab findings
What are two other factor deficiencies that are very rare?
XI def: bleeding after trauma
XIII def: severe neonatal bleeding
What are the four hereditary platelet disorders?
Bournard soulier syndrome
Glanzmann thrmobasthenia
Gray platelet syndrome
gamma granule deficiency
What are the characteristics of bournard soulier syndrome?
Abnormal Gp Ib (need it to bind vWF and adhese platelets)
abnormal adhesion (can’t start platelet plug process)
big platelets
severe bleeding
