Q

What is coagulopathy

A

The third and final step of haemostasis

Problems with the extrinsic-, intrinsic-, or common pathway of the coagulation cascade, which
ends with the formation of a polymerized fibrin network, which keeps thrombocyte thrombi at the site of injury,

52
Q

Major causes of thrombocytopathies:

A
  1. improper development of platelets,

for example because of hereditary glycoprotein deficiencies, etc.

  1. von Willebrand’s disease (see later)
  2. Uraemia, liver failure,myelo-, and/orlymphoproliferative diseases,NSAID treatment, etc.
53
Q

In case of thrombocytopenia, thrombocytopathies and vasopathies

  • What can we expect?
A

Besides normal coagulation, we cannot expect
signs of a really severe bleeding disorder

(suffusion, haematoma, haemothrorax, haemoperitoneum),

Because these are prevented by the formation of polymerized fibrin strands (fibrin thrombus) at the end of the coagulation
cascade.

54
Q

In case of COAGULOPATHY

- What can we expect?

A

Besides normal thrombocytic and blood vessel function and normal platelet count may lead
to the aforementioned severe bleedings, and sometimes bleeding to death, because thrombocytic thrombi are not
stable without a fibrin network
, and in case of a big blood vessel injury, thepower of blood flow can sweep away
the thrombocyte-thrombus from the wound
!

59
Q

How do you examine Coagulopathies

A

By using more specific “global “tests, so that we can evaluate, which group(s) of factors are not functioning properly.

Citrated blood should be used (citrate prevents coagulation by binding
calcium ions), which means, 3,8 % Na-citrate:blood = 1:9. (Prepared tubes are commercially available, usually
blue cap)

60
Q

What is the ratio of a prepared citrate sample?

A

3,8 % Na-citrate:blood = 1:9.

61
Q
Prothrombin time (PT):
When do you have to perform it
A

This test must be performed within 1 hour after sampling.

62
Q

Prothrombin Time (PT)

Bloodsample mix

A

Blood samples should be mixed with 3.8% sodium
citrate in 9:1 dilution
(4.5 ml of blood and 0.5 ml of Na-citrate).

Then centrifuge the samples in 3000 rpm for 10 min. and separate the (decalcinated) plasma from the sediment.

The plasma must be kept on 37 degrees.

63
Q

Prothrombin Time (PT)

What does the reagent contain

A

The reagent (Simplastin) for PT evaluation contains:

rat uterus tissue homogenate as tissue thromboplastin (Factor III.), and CaCl2. The reagent must be kept at 37 degrees before use.

64
Q

Evaluation of Prothrombin time (PT)

A

The evaluation can be performed by using a

1. coagulometer (see on the practical!) or in

2. test-tube.

200 μl reagent
should be mixed with 100 μl decalcinated (citrated!) plasma and the time of coagulation should be noted.

65
Q

Normal Prothrombin time (PT)

A

Normal PT: 10-15 sec.

66
Q

What does the Prothrombin time (PT) give information about

A

The function of the extrinsic pathway,

  • because the coagulation cascade is triggered by adding tissue factor (and calcium ion) to the dacalcinated plasma sample.
67
Q

Factors involved in Prothrombin time (PT) are:

A

VII., X., V., II., I., XIII.

68
Q

Activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT):
For this test decalcinated plasma should be used similarly to PT.

True or false

A

True

69
Q

The reagent of Activated partial thromboplastin time test (APTT) contain

A

The reagent (Silimat) contains rabbit brain homogenate as PF3 (platelet factor 3) and

Micronised silica as contact activator.

70
Q

Activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT): The MIX

A

100 μl decalcinated plasma should be mixed with

100 μl reagent and

the mixture kept on 37 degrees

then 100 μl of 0.025 mmol/l CaCl2 solution should be added and from this moment the time of coagulation should be noted.

71
Q

Normal Activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT):

A

Normal APTT: 20-30 sec..

72
Q

What does the Activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) give us information about?

A

The function of the intrinsic pathway

because the cascade is triggered by providing surface activation (imitating the effect of free collagen, which appears on the inner surface of the vessels in case of blood vessel injury), and adding platelet factor 3 (PF3) and Ca 2+ for the activation of factor X. (remember the
coagulation cascade!!)..

73
Q

Factors involved in Activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) are?

A

XI., IX., VIII., X., V., II., I., XIII.

74
Q

Thrombin time (TT) depends on

A
Thrombin time (TT)
By performing this test, **decalcinated plasma should be simply mixed** with a reagent **containing thrombin only**.

In this case coagulation time depends on the concentration of fibrinogen and Factor XIII.in the plasma.

Obviously, this test can also be used for the estimation of fibrinogen concentration (suspecting a normal factor XIII. level in
the blood).

  • *1. Proconvertin** (Factor VII),

2. Christmas (Factor IX),

3. Stuart-Prower (Factor X) and the

4. Prothrombin (Factor II), as
they are Ca2+ dependent factors,

85
Q

Vitamin K deficiency causes ?

A

The inability of these factors to bind calcium.

86
Q

A

Factor VII. has the shortest half life, so this factor will be deficient first.

87
Q

Which test will show the deficiency problem first.

A

there is factor VII deficicency, so this test will show the problem first.

88
Q

What is the Function of Vitamin K

A

To exaggerate the post-synthetic gamma-carboxylation of those factors in the liver.

This makes these factors to be able to bind Ca2+, and thus become
functionally active.

89
Q

In case of vitamin K deficiency of any origin, improperly carboxylised prothrombin can be detected by using ?

A

ELISA (Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay) test, called PIVKA II. (Proteins Induced by Vitamin K Absence)

The Fibrinolytic pathway is responsible for keeping the clot formation within normal limits.

91
Q

What are the Clot inhibitors

A

(antithrombin III., alpha2-macroglobulin, alpha1-antitripsin, heparin – the latter increases the binding of antithrombin III to thrombin)

are able to bind to thrombin and neutralize it.

92

A

fibrinolytic enzymes.

93
Q

95
Q

XII.a (activated form of factor XII. ) further activates the extrinsic pathway and is able to form…….

A

Bradykinin (an activated form of kininogen), which is a very potent mediator of pain.

97
Q

important activator of plasminogen.

A

Kallikrein

98
Q

What is the activated form of plasminogen?

A
  • *Plasmin** (activated form of plasminogen) is an endopeptidase, which can
  • *cleave fibrin strands into small pieces.**
99
Q

A

fibrinolysis-products, fibrin dimers and monomers (so called: “fibrin degradation products or proteins,
FDP”) can be measured in the blood.

100
Q

What is the fuction of FDP

A

Fibrinolyticenzyme removes clot - elevates level of FDP

but its not accurate because the degradation product could come from both - fibrinogen/fibrin

107
Q

What is “consumptional coagulopathy”.

A

In case of DIC, microthrombus formation and fibrinolysis are

  3. Factor VIII related antigen – is the hapten that is the determinable
    part, and is bound strongly to von Willebrand factor.
