30
Q

thrombotic microangiopathies

A

caused by insults that lead to excessive platelet activation
intravascular thrombi cause microangiopathic hemolytic anemia
widespread organ dysfunction
thrombocytopenia due to consumption of platlets
unlike DIC activation of coagulation cascade, not primary importance therefore PT and PTT normal

31
Q

TTP

children and older adults

35
Q

atypical HUS

A

DIC- all factors used up

42
Q

VIII

A

essential cofactor for activation of X
made in endothelium and kupffer cells
in circulation binds vWF which increases its half life
measured w/coagulation assays mixing patients plasma and factor VIII- deficient plasma

43
Q

vWF

A

produced by endothelium and megakarocytes
stabilizes VIII
measured w/ristocetin agglutination test where ristocetin cofactor would be decreased

44

most common inherited bleeding disorder of humans
bleeding tendancy is usually mild, often goes unnoticed until trauma
autosomal dominant
3 types

45
Q

vW disease types 1 and 3

A
quantitative defects
autosomal domiinant
make up 70% of cases
type 1 mild bleeding
type 3 severe deficiency -> makes VIII unstable -> severe bleeding
prolonged PTT
46
Q

A

normal amount of vWF, dysfunctional
2a most common
autosomal dominant
mild-moderate bleeding

47
Q

hemophilia A

A

factor VIII disease

49
Q

DIC

A

acute, subacute, or chornic thrombohemorrhagic disorder characterized by excessive activation of coagulation and formation of thrombi in microvasculature
not a primary disease

50
Q

normal clotting

A

initiated by exposure of tissue factor which combines w/factor VII to activate factor X and IX -> thrombin -> converts fibrinogen -> fibrin -> feeds back and activated IX, VIII and V, stimulates cross linking of fibirn -> stabilizes clot

51
Q

thrombin

A

swept away from site of injury and converted to anticoagluant by binding thrombomodulin -> activates protein C -> inhibits V and VIII
