Platelet Disorders, ASPHO Flashcards
plt lifespan?
7-9 days
how do plts get removed from circ?
monocyte-macropahge system
sites of destruction/utilization of plts?
spleen, liver, endothelial cell junction
% of circ’ing plts in spleen?
25-35%
causes of low plts?
- shortened life span (immune or not)
- plt seq
- plt loss or dilution (massive transfusion)
- decrased production (marrow issue, folate def, b12 def)
DDX for low plts in newbron?
- impaired production (placental insuff, fetal hypox, fetal iugr, perinatal drugs)
- consumption/sequestration (nec, RDS, thrombosis, hemangiomas, splenic seq)
- infectoius (TORCH, sepsis)
- immune destruction
- genetic (BMF, trisomy 18/13/21, IEM)
Neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia: dx how?
- anti-plts alloAbs in teh mom
- document fetomat incompat
NAIT antigens involved in caucasians?
HPA1>, 5, 3
NAIT antigens in asian population?
HPA-4 and 5
NAIT managemetn?
- daily plt count
- HUS for ICH
- tx if plts <30k
- transfuse maternal plts
- if can’t get mat plts, give HPA1a neg plts
- or donor plts +/- IVIG and corticosteroids
moms with prior hx of NAIT..manage how?
future pregs more severe: maternal IVIG weekly +/- daily corticosteroids
maternal ITP __ occur while mom in remmission
CAN
tx for matenral ITP?
IVIG 1 g/kg for 1-2 dose
maternal ITP prog?
nadir aroudn 3-4 days of age…most infants show count recovery by 7 days
what’s more common: maternal ITP ro NAIT?
NAIT
describe antigens/abs in maternal ITP vs NAIT
maternal ITP: antigen present on mom AND baby’s plts…NAIT: HPA-1a antigen on baby’s plts while mom is HPA-1a neg
does ab affect plt functionin maternal itp? nait?
itp: no
nait: YES, via GP2b/3a
waht’s more severe- mat itp or nait?
nait! can get ICH, rarely fatal
maternal itp, nait tx?
itp: observation, IVIG for clinical bleeding
nait: maternal plts, HPA-1 neg plts, IVIG+ random donor…goal >30-50
peak age itp?
toddlers, adolescents
ITP: natural hx = rise in plts coutn within how long?
1-3 weeks
prog ITP?
80% resolve within 12 months
red flags in ITP for other dx?
-anemia
-abnormal MCV
-low ANC
hepatosplenoemgaly
-constitutional sx
ITP tx?
- observation (most)
- corticosteroids
- IVIG
- ANti-D= winrho
AE of winrho?
hemolysis…only works in pts who are Rh+ adn have spleen in tact
2nd line tx in ITP?
- splenectony
- ritux
- eltrombopag
risks of splenectomy? resposne rate?
- sepsis, thrombosis
- 60-80%
risks of ritux? resposne rate for ITP?
infusion rxn, serum sickness, CVID, 30%
risks fo TPO agonsists?
thrombocytosis, bone develop of marrow reticulin, thormbosis
non-immune low plts ddx, other than marrow issue?
- DIC
- TTp/hus
- cardiopulm bypass
- sepsis
- preeclampsia/HELPP
- catastrophic antiphospholipid antibides
- transplant related
TTP smear findings?
low plts
large pts
schistocytes
HUS pathophys?
endothelial activation
leuk activation
plt activation
HUS associatd iwth what trigger?
e. coli verotoxin O157:H7 and strep pneumonia
HUS features?
MAHA, renal failure
tx for HUS?
dialysis and other supportive care; no need for plasmapheresis
atypical HUS difference?
no prodrome illness..an have muts in or abs to factor H, I or membrane co-factor protein…can give eculizumab
ttp: pathophys
def or abs to ADAMTS13, which normally breaks down very large vWF multimers–> large vWF multimers–> microthrombi
pentad for ttp?
MAHA thrombocytopenia neuro findings renal manifestations fever ...must have no other identificable cause
dx features of ttp?
schistoytse, helmet cells elevated LDH elevated retics neg coombs normal PT, PTT, fibrinogen, etc renal manfisations not severe reduced ADAMTS13
ttp mort rate if no therpay?
80%! start plasmapheresis right away!
ttp tx?
daily plasma exchanrge until control of hemolytic anemia and normal plt count, then altenratve day and/or less frequently…start corticosteroids
relapse rate in ttp?
high, at 20-30%
congen ttp: maange how?
infusions of ffp q2-3 weeks to maintain ADAMTS13>5%
evan’s syndrome smear: see large plts adn? other lab findings? tx?
spherocytes…DAT+…corticosteroids
give 4 inherited d/os of plt function
glanzmann thrombashenia
bernard soulier
grey plt syndrome
hermansky-pudlak syndrome
