Q

When are platelet counts important?

A

When the bleeding time/buccal mucosal bleeding time is increased or petechies are visible

(-> problems with stopping bleeding)

Q

What is the normal prothrombin time, and how is it evaluated?

A

10-15sec

Extrinsic pathway - by external trauma - quickest. Activated by tissue factor(thromboplastin=factor III) from rat uterus tissue

Q

What are the three steps of haemostasis

A

Q

A more precice wat to measure fibrin degr products

A

D-dimer levels instead of fibrin degr products, which are derived from fibrin only

Attach to latex particles for quantitative measure on dark surface

17
Q

DIC

A

Disseminated intravascular coagulopathy

Fdp or D-dimer test is often first sign of this disease

18
Q

What characterises dic

A

blood clots form throughout the body, blocking small blood vessels. Usually a secondary problem developed after eg. Necrosis of big tumors, pancreatitis - diseases causing severe tissue damage and necrosis

19
Q

How is von willebrand disease detected?

A

Detection of lack of von willebrand related antigen, use eg. Platelet aggregation test

20
Q

Sample type for coagulation time

A

Non coagulated, fresh, native blood, 2 syringe method

21
Q

Sample type for platelet count

A

K2 or na2 EDTA anticoagulated blood

22
Q

Platelet aggregation test and tests for voagulopathies and fibrin degr. Products sample type used

A

Citrated blood - de-calcinated plasma by binding the ca2+ to citrate

23
Q

aggregation test

A

Used for aggregation test to measure disfunction in aggregation of platelets

Citrated blood sample, use upper layer ➡️ into cuvette with drug(ADP) causing exaggerated aggregation ➡️ aggregation cause clearing up of fluid which decr the absorbancy. We use a spectrophotometer to measure.

Decr A means good platelet function

24
Q

Thrombin time

A

Does not check intrinsic or extrinsic, only the time throbin uses to convert fibrinogen into the insoluble fibrin clot

(Thrombin mixed with citrated blood + fibrinogen and XIII

25
Q

Vit k in coagulation cascade

A

Dicumarol is comp antagonist of vit k, so during toxicosis the extrinsic (pt) will react first, then the intrinsic (aptt), since VII of the extrinsic pathway has the shortest halftime and will be affected first

26
Q

Latex agglutination method

A

reagent contains antibodies against FDPs or D-dimers attached to latex particles

The reagent is mixed with citrated blood, agglutination is seen on dark surface, here we check the surface that there are enough fdp and d-dimers in the blood, if elevated it indicates eg. DIC disease may be present

27
Q

Echymosis

A

Discoloration of the skin from bleeding underneath

28
Q

Suffusion

A

A slowly spread bleed

29
Q

Melena

A

Dark black tarry feces, associated with upper gi bleeding

30
Q

Haematemesis

A

Vomiting blood caused by bleeding from upper portion of the gi tract

31
Q

Reagents used in aptt and pt

A

Activated partial thromboplastin time: silimat, rabbit brain, silica

Prothrombin time: simplastin, rat uterus

Both use citrated blood so common pathway isn`t activated:
1️⃣ PT: rat uterus(factor III), CaCl2(factor X)
2️⃣ APTT: silimat: rat brain(platelel facor 3, silica as contacti activator and Ca2+ to activate factor X(common)

32
Q

Factors that are vit ka(ca2+) dependsnt

A

9, 7, 10 and 2

33
Q

At what count do we call it thrombocythopenia

A

From 200 = normal
100-110 = low and ok
60-110 = no clinical symptoms, keep an eye on it

Below 60*10^9/L, spontanious bleeding start, petechie

Below 10 - danger! Be ready for blood transfusion

If lab says ok number but dog says otherwise - may be thrombocytopathy aswell!

34
Q

Name some diseases for an intrinsic pathway problem and changed parameters

A

⬆️ APTT ↔️ PT

Haemophilia A and B
Von willebrand disease

35
Q

Name some diseases for an extrinsic pathway problem and changed parameters

A

↔️ APTT ⬆️PT

Factor 7 deficiancy
Caused by Dicumarol toxicosis 1st stage

36
Q

Name some diseases for an common pathway problem and changed parameters

A

⬆️ APTT
⬆️ PT

  • Liver disease caused by coag. Factors
  • DIC, could lead to cachexia(weightloss, wasting muscle, decr appatite etc.)
  • dicumarol 2nd stage cause vit K deficiancy(not common)
37
Q

Laboratory diagnosis of DIC

A 
Coagualtion time:⬆️
Bleeding time:⬆️
Platelet count:⬇️
PT:⬆️
APTT:⬆️
TT:⬆️
Fibrin degradation products (FDP), and D-dimer: ⬆️
schysocytes and/or burr-cells in blood smear
38
Q

What are the tests for primary hemostasis

A

Only these will be changed during primary hemostasis! Not CT etc

1 BMBT
2 Clot retraction time
3 Aggremetry
4 Platelet count
5 -> morohology
39
Q

What are the tests for secondary hemostasis

A

Only these will be changed during secondary hemostasis (not primary tests)

1 Clottimg time all versions(name them)
2(1st fibrin strand)
3 APTT
4 PT
6 TT
40
Q

What are the tests for terminal hemostasis

A

FPDP

D-dimer
