Lecture 8- Bleeding Disorders And Blood Types Flashcards

1
Q

what do Thromboembolic disorders result from?

if large enough, may block blood flow to tissues.

Q

Embolus

A

A thrombus that breaks away from a vessel wall

will move through the circulatory system until it becomes stuck in a narrow blood vessel somewhere else in the body.

Q

Thrombocytopenia

A

deficiency in circulating platelets and may result from any condition that suppresses or destroys red bone marrow.

It is treated with platelet transfusions.

Q

How can impaired liver function be caused?

A

insufficient synthesis of procoagulant clotting factors

may be due to a shortage of vitamin K, or diseases such as hepatitis or cirrhosis.

Q

Hemophilia

A

deficiency of clotting factors.

most commonly an X-linked recessive trait, but other genetic conditions can also cause clotting factor deficiencies.

It is managed clinically with transfusions.

Q

Disseminated intravascular coagulation

A

situation leading to widespread clotting and severe bleeding

does not occur by itself but as the result of another condition, such as a complication of
pregnancy, septicemia, or incompatible blood transfusions.

has a mortality rate of 10-50%, with a higher rate of death for cases caused by infection.

Q

Antigens

A

substances that trigger the body’s adaptive immune response.

In theory, things that do not belong inside the body and cause disease.

Q

Antibodies

A

proteins produced by lymphocytes that target specific antigens.

Antibodies help the immune system by binding to pathogens to inhibit their functions

Q

Affinity maturation

A

Once body encounters an antigen, it will make more of the antibody that binds it and refine the fit so that it can bind the antigen more effectively in the future.

part of how your immune system adapts.

Q

Allergies

A

Immune hypersensitivities to non pathogenic foreign substances

Symptoms caused by overreaction of immune response

17
Q

What antigens cause strong transfusion reactions?

A

ABO and Rh antigens

18
Q

When is transfusion of whole blood used?

A

When blood loss is substantial or when treating thrombocytopenia

19
Q

Antibodies and antigens present in type A

A

B antibodies
A antigens

20
Q

Antibodies and antigens present in type B

A

A antibodies
B antigens

21
Q

Antibodies and antigens present in type AB

A

No antibodies
A and B antigens

22
Q

Antibodies and antigens present in type O

A

A and B antibodies
No antigens

23
Q

Rh factor

A

referred to as “D” antigen, where the presence of the D antigen means that the person is Rh+ and absence of D antigen means person is Rh-

24
Q

When does transfusion reaction occur?

A

if the antigens in the donor blood type are attacked by the recipient’s blood plasma antibodies resulting in agglutination and haemolysis of the donor cells.

25
Q

Why is group O- the universal donor?

A

because their erythrocytes do not have A, B or D antigens.

26
Q

Why is group AB+ the universal recipients?

A

They do not have anti-A, anti-B or anti-D antibodies
