Platelets And Coagulation Factor Disorders Flashcards
ITP Full form
Immune Thrombocytopenic purpura
Types of ITP
1) Acute ITP - Severe and acute onset
- affects children’s usually
2) Chronic ITP - Less severe and longer duration
- usually affects Adults
Clinical features of ITP
Petechiae
Purpura
Hemorrhagic bullae
Hematuria
Melena
Gum bleeding
Diagnosis of ITP
Bleeding time increases
Platelet count low (Thrombocytopenia)
PT And aPTT Normal
Coombs test Positive
Diagnosis of ITP
Bleeding time increases
Platelet count low (Thrombocytopenia)
PT And aPTT Normal
Coombs test Positive
Treatment of ITP
Acute ITP - Symptomatic treatment
Chronic ITP - iv Immunoglobulins
- Steroids
- Splenectomy in severe cases
HUS Full form
Hemolytic uremic syndrome
Types of HUS
Typical HUS
Atypical HUS
Typical HUS
Children’s with history of Gastroenteritis (E coli and Salmonella)
- release toxins that can damage endothelial cells and leads to formation of PLATELET RICH THROMBI
Atypical HUS
Due to mutation in complementary proteins (Factor H/I/CD-46)
- Excessive damage to endothelial cells
- formation of PLATELET RICH THROMBI
Triad Of HUS
1) MAHA
2) Renal Failure
3) Thrombocytopenia
Clinical features of HUS
Fever
Bloody diarrhea (Gastroenteritis)
Renal dysfunction (BUN High)
Purpura
Diagnosis of HUS
Bleeding time increases
Platelet count low
PT And aPTT Normal
Treatment of HUS
Hemodialysis
TTP Full form
Thrombotic thrombocytopenic Purpura
Pathogenesis of TTP
1) Deficiency of ADAMTS13
2) Antibody formation against ADAMTS13
Reduction in activity of ADAMTS13
Formation of vWF clumps
Leads to formation of PLATELET RICH THROMBI
Function of enzyme ADAMTS13
Production in liver
Example of metalloprotease
Breakdown vWF clumps in Normal individuals.
Reduces the chances of clumping
Deficiency of ADAMTS13 is known as
Upshaw-Schulman Syndrome
Pentad of TTP
MAHA
Renal Failure
Thrombocytopenia
Fever
CNS Features
Treatment of TTP
Plasmapheresis
DIC Full form
Disseminated intravascular coagulation
DIC is example of
Thrombo-Hemorrhagic disorder
Risk factors of DIC
Obstetrics causes
Infections
Cancer
Burns/Trauma/Surgery
