PHY-Bleeding DO Flashcards
What is possible etiology of acquired bleeding disorders
1] complications p circumcision, 2] ASA, Coumadin, 3] Bleeding surgery, hemarthrosis, GI/urinary bleeding, 4] UE DVT (this is not common)
What are tendency associated with bleeding disorders
Epistaxis, bruising, ecchymoses, bleeding p venipuncture, gums p brushing
What is the pathophysiology of Hereditary Hemorrhagic Telangiectasia aka Osler, Weber, Rendu
AD inheritance results in defects of TGF beta-1 effect formation of connective tissue necessary for blood vessel formation resulting in arteriovenous malformation
What is the manifestations of Hereditary Hemorrhagic Telangiectasia aka Osler, Weber, Rendu
1] Vascular malformations, 2] Skin/mucosal malformations on tongue, hands/fingers, nose, lips, conjunctiva, 3] Also brain and lungs
What is the pathophysiology of Ehler-Danlos Syndromes
All effect collagen structure (28 genes, 19 types)
What is the manifestations of Ehler-Danlos Syndromes
Easy bruising, hyperelasticity of skin, hypermobility of joints, weakness of tissues (including blood vessel walls)
What is vascular type IV - Ehler-Danlos Syndromes
joint or blood vessel ruptures 20-40 yo due to weak vessel walls
What is Marfan syndrome
Genetic d/o of connective tissue due to mutation in Fibrillin-1 (Chr 15); Fibrillin 1 binds TGF-beta causing local inflammatory effects damaging aorta, valves and structure of the vasculature
What is the features of platelet disorders
1] Spontaneous bleeding, 2] Prolonged Bleeding Time-cut pt watch, 3] Normal PT-prothrombin, heparin 4] Normal PTT-INR warfarin 5] Low count
Why do platelet disorders have prolonged bleeding time?
prolonged BT is about platelet plugging. normally we stop bleed bc of the platelet plug, not always from clot
Why do platelet disorders have normal PT/PTT
regards clotting factors made by the liver- NOT about platelet activity.
List the different disorders that cause Thrombocytopenia
1] aplastic anemia, 2] Marrow infiltration (leukemia), 3] Ineffective thrombopoiesis (B12/folate), 4] Increased destruction, 5] Infection (HIV), 6] Consumption (DIC)
What are the drugs that affect platelets
1] Quinidine, 2] Sulfa, 3] PCN, 4] Heparin - HIT, Heparin induced thrombocytopenia, 5] Thiazides
What is the most common cause of thrombocytopenia in children
Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura
Who else is affected by Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura
Female 20-40, possibly assoc with SLE
What is the pathophysiology of Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura
IgG vs GPIIb/IIIa surface receptors which leads to Removal of targeted platelet by spleen
What is the findings of ITP
No splenomegaly, Must examine marrow for increased megakaryocytes
What is the treatment of ITP
Steroids, splenectomy
Who is more affected by thrombocytopenic purpura TTP ?
Primarily Women
What is the pentad for TTP
1] Thrombocytopenia, 2] Microangiopathic anemia (low MCV), 3] Neurologic changes, 4] Renal failure, 5] Fever
What is the pathophysiology of TTP
Extensive microscopic clotting in small blood vessels (will clot A LOT in small vessels. ) by failure to cleave vWF polymers (enzyme ADAMTS13). Shear stress on RBC hemolysis.
What are the clinical findings of TTP
1] Darkening of urine from hemolytic anemia, 2] Small clots lead to widespread areas of ischemia, 3] N/V if gut ischemia, 4] Purple splotches on the skin
What is the treatment of TTP
plasmapheresis
What is Heparin induced thrombocytopenia
Several days of heparin or LMWH tx which leads to IgG mediated complexes destroy platelets, autoimmune in nature
What is the clinical manifestation of Heparin induced thrombocytopenia
Unexplained platelet loss or sudden bleeding
What is the treatment of Heparin induced thrombocytopenia
Withdraw agents, get assay for previous hx
Who is affected by Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome
Infants and young children
What is the clinical manifestation of Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome
Similar to ITP or TTP without neuro and more *severe renal disease often progressing to ARF.
What is HUS be associated
1] E coli toxins, 2] Chemotherapeutic agents, 3] Diarrhea and URI are MC inciting factors
