Q

What prevents blood from clotting in vessels?

A

House collagen in endoth, so when broken can come out, neg charge of both endoth and plasma prots keeps them away from ea other, thrombomodulin etc

Q

How does platelet adhesion of damaged endoth occur

A

subendoth collagen exposed, binds vWF, platelets also bind VWF via GP1b, platelets activated and secr granules, serotonin and ADP cause vasoconstr to slow flow,
-GP2b changes shape and binds fibrinogen, causing platelets to aggregate, forming plug

Q

Von Willebrand Factor?

A

Multimer prot in megakaryoctyes and endoth cells, and stored in endoth cell Weibal-Palade bodies (which also hold P selectin)

  • its also the primary transport protein for factor VIII in the serum (so VWF allows factor 8 to circul8)
  • binds GP1b on one side and subendoth collagen on the other

Q

Inherited VWD genetics?

Types?

A

all types AD except type 3 is AR
type 1 decr conc of normal VWF, most common
type 2 normal conc but abnormal VWF
type 3 complete VWF absence so low factor 8 (hemophilia A phenotype)
autoimm issues can also remove VW factor

Q

VWD Tx

A
  • best for type 1; desmopressin (stim VWF release into bloodstream), dont give for type2b bc causes thrombocytopenia (already have normal quantity)
  • for other types: factor 8 first
24
Q

What is TPP (Thrombotic Thrombocytic Purpura)

A

Loss of ADAM gene causes failture to make large multimers of VWF into smaller, causes too muc platelet activation and thrombosis

  • causes the pentad: fever, thrombocytopen, microangiopathic hemolytic anem w schistiocytes, mental status changes, renal failure
  • PRIMARY aggregation problem (secondary hemostasis coag is normal)
  • fatal if untreated, so give plasma to replace ADAM
25
Q

How to distinguish TTP from DIC?

A

In DIC, PTT etc tests will be abnormal, but will be NORMAL IN TTP!

26
Q

HUS (Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome)

A

pediatric disease similar to TTP, but with renal failure instead of mental status change, caused by Shiga toxin in E coli O157:h7, no VWF involved, plasma exchange wont work (supportive tx only)

27
Q 
Antiphospholipid Syndrome (Lupus anticoagulant)
HIT (Heparin Induced thrombocytopenia)
A

Anti-phospholipid syndrome: ab’s to platelet phospholipids, causes platelet activation thus thrombosis

  • elevated aPTT (but this disorder isnt a bleeding disorder), dx with russel venom viper test (dRVVT)
  • HIT: ab to PlateletFactor 4 (PF4) and heparin causes platelet activation thus thrombosis
28
Q

What IS desmopressin

A

exogenous vasopressin to stim rel of preformed VWF in endoth/megakaryocytes to boost conc in periphery

29
Q

How do you distinguished acquired VWD (assoc with some other diseases) vs inherited?

A

In inherited, pts have family history of bleeding (so fam history, duh), wont have easy bruising but may have DVT

30
Q

If you see the PENTAD of fever
thrombocytopenia, microangiopathic hemolytic anemia (schistocytes), mental status changes,
renal failure, what might this suggest?

A

TTP!!!

31
Q

What does secondary hemostasis form?

A

fibrin clot

cascade involves intrinsic and extrinsic paths converrging to common (prothrombin (II) and fibrinogen (I)

32
Q

where are the non-VWF other clotting factors made?

A

liver!

33
Q

what ARE the clotting factors?

A

serine proteases

34
Q

what happens in hemo 2 cascade

A

endoth dmg exposes Tissue factor (TF), which complexes with VII (7) which turns into VIIa, starts off secondary hemostasis in vivo, turns IX to IXa (crossover path where extrinsic crosses over to activate intrinsic path), IXa combines with VIII to convert X to Xa
But in vitro, 7a converts 10 to 10a, complexes to 5 to convert 2 to 2a, which then converts fibrinogen to fibrin

35
Q

what does fibrin do w platelets

what vitamin do u need

A

stabilizes platelet plug

-need presence of vitamin K to carboxylate (add negative charge) to some of the factors)

36
Q

What does thrombin do?

A

converts fibrinogen to fibrin, activates 5 and 8, converts 11 to 11a, converts 13 to 13a to make more stable fibrin clot (starts tertiary hemostasis)

37
Q

TFPI (tissue factor pathway inhibitor)

A

rel by damaged tissue and shuts off extrinsic path, so need factor 11a to keep activating factor 9 (since extrinsic pathway wont do it), so we need thrombin which converts 11 to 11a

38
Q

What does tertiary hemostasis start with

A

formation of cross linked fibrin, factor 13a forms to stabilize clot (looks like net)

39
Q

What does tPA (tissue plasminogen activator) do?

What is it inhibited by?

A

recruits plasminogen into plasmin at site of clot (lyses fibrin into fibrin split products, such as D-DIMER!!!)
-Inhib by Plasminogen activator inhibitor (PAI) and alpha-2 antiplasmin, which inhibs breakdown of fibrin

40
Q

What are some natural anticoagulants

A

protein c-activated by binding to thrombomodulin, then activated protein binds to protein S, which activates 8a and 5a

41
Q

What does antithrombin do?

A

inhibits serine proteases, esp 2a thrombin and 10a

42
Q

What are 5 basic tests of clotting factors?

A 
PT
PTT
TT
Fibrinogen test
Mixing studies
43
Q

PT

A

Prothrombin time!
functional test of extrinsic and common paths so all must be present to have normal PT, if prolonged could be liver disease, malabs of vit k (or warfarin, a vit k antagonist), could be fibrin/fibrinogen degrad prods
-INR calculated from PT to montior warfarin

44
Q

PTT

A

Partial thromboplastin time!
fxnl test of intrinsic and common path
heparin etc etc

45
Q

Diffs in PT vs PTT

A

diff activators

PT uses TF, PTT uses clay coating

46
Q

TT

A

Thrombin time!
fxnl test of fibrin generation
add exoenous thrombin and Ca to plasma and measure conversion of fibrinogen to fibrin (increased in fibrinogen disorders, which can also be in liver dis)

47
Q

Fibrinogen test

A

fxnl assay that adds LARGE amoutn of thrombin and measures conversion of fibrinogen to fibrin, low if low conc of dysfuxn of fibrinogen
-can use mass assay like ELISA immunoassay

48
Q

When are Mixing studies used?

procedure?

A

When theres a prolonged PT/PTT to determine if its due to deficiency of a factor or inhibition of a factor
-mix pt plasma with normal plasma: factor deficiency would show >50% activity, if inhibitor of factor then will show clotting time that doesnt correct, must mean an ab (or drug like heparin) is present

49
Q

What are disorders of secondary hemostasis?

A

A type of hemorrhagic disroder, show hemarthrosis (bleeding into joints), echymoses (large bruises), delayed post-op or trauma bleeds, examples are Hemophila A and B

50
Q

Hemophilia A

Missing factor, genetics, test results, and tx?

A

FACTOR 8 DEFICIENCY!
X linked recessive, severe for most
INCREASED PTT!
Tx by replacing missing factor!

51
Q

Hemophilia B

Deficient factor, genetics, test results?

A

deficiency in factor 9

same genetics and clinical stuff as HEMOPHILIA A

52
Q

DIC (disseminated intravascular coagulation) histo

A

Schistiocytes (fragments) and thrombocytopenia (v few platelets in smear), microangiopathic hemolytic anemia on smear (unlike TTP)

53
Q

DIC sx and tests?

A

excessive clotting AND fibrinolysis, bleeding and/or thrombosis
increases on ALL THREE TESTS! PT/PTT/TT
decreased fibrinogen
increased FSP like D-DIMERS

54
Q

DIC assocs?

A

assoc with blood cancers like APL, sepsis etc etc etc

55
Q

Other thrombotic disorders

A

Antithrombin deficiency
APCR (acctivatd protein c resistance) usu due to factor 5 Leiden mutation
Protein C def (need to inactiv8 factor 5 and 8)
Protein S def (cofactor for protein C)
Hyperhomocystinemia (mutation in MTFH receptor)
