Q

What is the treatment of Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome

A

plasmapheresis

31
Q

What should be avoided in HUS and why

A

antimotility agents in Diarrhea may increase risk of HUS. Immune complexes implicated, Trapping of pathogens and toxins in the body

Q

What are the causes of coagulation factor Deficiency?

A

33
Q

What is Factor VIII deficiency also known as

A

also known as Hemophilia A (Classic),

34
Q

What synthesis Factor VIII

A

liver

35
Q

What is the function of Factor VIII

A

Factor 8 required for activation of factor X by intrinsic pathway, Bound to subendothelium by vWF

36
Q

What is the etiology of Factor VIII deficiency

A

1] Genetic Defect, X-linked, 2] In up to 30% of pts, spontaneous mutation, 3] 10% have normal factor levels, but inhibited by autoantibodies

37
Q

Who is more commonly affected by hemophilia A?

A

Males

38
Q

What is the presentation of Hemophilia A

1] Late rebleeding - no problem forming a platelet plug, but unable to form a fibrin clot, 2] Hemarthrosis - bleeding into joints, 3] Bruising, 4] Massive hemorrhage

39
Q

What is the lab findings of Hemophilia A

A

1] BT normal, 2] Platelets normal, 3] PT normal (measures only 5, 10, 2 not 8), 4] Prolonged aPTT - corrected by mixing with normal plasma containing factor, 5] Factor VIII assay decreased

40
Q

Why is BT, platelets, and PT normal in Hemophilia A?

A

Loss of factor VIII results in inhibition of intrinsic pathway, does not involve loss of platelet

41
Q

What is the treatment of Hemophilia A

A

1] Factor replacement, 2] Desmopressin Acetate (vasoconstrictor) for smaller bleeds, DVVAP

42
Q

What is the Christmas factor

A

1] Spontaneous bleeding, 2] Prolonged Bleeding Time-cut pt watch, 3] Normal PT/INR-prothrombin, warfarin 4] Normal PTT heparin 5] Low count

43
Q

How is hemophilia A and B differentiated

A

factor assay

44
Q

What is the presentation of Von Willebrand Disease

A

Presentation with spontaneous bleeding from mucous membrane, oozing after procedure, menorrhagia

45
Q

What are the different forms of Von Willebrand disease

A

AD and AR forms

46
Q

What is the pathophysiology of Von Willebrand disease

A

platelets need to attach to the vessel membrane. Platelet binds to sub endothelium through vWF. responsible for platelet aggregation too. it’s an adhesion molecule

47
Q

List the laboratory work up consistent with Von Willebrand disease

A

1] Prolonged BT, 2] Prolonged aPTT, normal PT, 3] Low vWF levels, 4] Possible low level of factor VIII d/t loss of stabilizing influence of vWF

48
Q

What is Ristocetin aggregation test

A

Antibiotic facilitating binding of VIII:vWF complexes to GPIb receptor on the platelet. Absence of aggregation predicts low VIII, vWF or receptor deficiency.

49
Q

What is Disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC)

A

Systemic, intravascular thrombohemorrhagic disorder where there is Formation of thrombi widespread results in Consumption of platelets and factors, secondary activation of fibrinolysis. Always a Secondary manifestation

50
Q

What disorders are associated with DIC

A

1] Abruptio placenta 2] Infection (meningococcemia, GN sepsis), 3] Metastatic CA, 4] Burn pts, 5] Hemolytic transfusion reactions

51
Q

What is the pathophysiology of DIC

A

Activation of coagulation and fibrinolytic systems

52
Q

What is the activation of coagulation in DIC

A

Release of tissue factor (thromboplastin) activates extrinsic pathway (placenta, leukemic cells, endotoxins). Widespread endothelial injury activates intrinsic pathway

53
Q

What is the activation of bleeding in DIC

A

Factor XII activates kinins - vasodilation (shock) - also activates fibrinolysis (D Dimers formed)

54
Q

What is the diagnostic test of choice for DIC

A

D-dimer test

55
Q

What two factors regulate hemostasis

A

Balance between activation of coagulation and fibrinogen

56
Q

What is the issue with excess clotting?

A

1] Ischemia, 2] Impaired organ perfusion, 3] End-Organ Damage

57
Q

What is the issue with excess bleeding

A

1] Shock, 2] Hypotension, 3] Increased vascular permeability

What is the presentation of DIC

A

1] ill or OB patient, 2] Oozing of blood from wounds, 3] Subcutaneous bleeds, 4] Microthrombi in kidneys leading to RF, 4] Microinfarction of heart, 5] ARDS, 6] Intracerebral bleeds/CVA, 7] Microangiopathic hemolytic anemia, 8] Anterior pituitary involvement (Sheehan Syndrome) - postpartum pituitary necrosis

59
Q

What are the lab tests consistent with DIC

A

1] Platelets low - bc they are tied into all these clots, 2] PT/aPTT prolonged, **3] D-Dimer elevation is diagnostic

60
Q

What is Hemolytic transfusion reaction

A

Autoimmune pt reacts to donor antigens usually due to Usually ABO incompatibility

61
Q

What is the result of a Hemolytic transfusion reaction
