Question 1

Infant Sample collection

Answer 1

• Must minimize the amount of sample drawn, due to small blood volume in infants

Question 2

“Well” infants experience

Answer 2

– Immune thrombocytopenia, vitamin K deficiency,
hemophilia, bleeding from a localized vascular lesion

Question 3

sick infants

Answer 3

– Prematurity, perinatal infection, respiratory distress
syndrome, metabolic derangements, birth asphyxia
▪ DIC, liver failure, isolated platelet consumption defect

Question 4

Identifying aPL Antibodies

Answer 4

1. Prolongation of a PL-dependent coagulation test (e.g.,
   APTT, dRVVT, KCT)
2. Evidence of inhibitor activity (lack of correction by a 1:1
   mix with normal plasma)
3. Confirmation that inhibitory effect blocks PL-dependent
   coagulation (i.e., neutralization of inhibitor effect by
   addition of excess PLs or changing PL source)
4. Absence of specific inhibitor against a coagulation factor

Question 5

Antiphospholipid Antibody Syndrome
(APLS

Answer 5

-Not clearly understood
-presents as VTE (DVT, PE), arterial thromboses (stroke, TIA, MI)
- recurrent miscarriages

Question 6

• Antiphospholipid antibodies

Answer 6

▪ Lupus anticoagulant (LA)
▪ Anticardiolipin antibodies (aCL)
▪ Several subgroups—antibodies to PLs and PL binding
proteins

Question 7

negatively charged surface

Answer 7

repels platelet and hemostatic proteins

Question 8

heparan sulfate(HS)

Answer 8

inhibits fibrin formation - cofactor for antithrombin

Question 9

thrombomodulin(TM)

Answer 9

binds thrombin and enhances activation of protein C

Question 10

endothelial protein C receptor

Answer 10

binds protein C and facilitates PC activation

Question 11

Answer 23

answer in book

Question 24

what are the 2 membrane systems

Answer 24
