Primary hemostasis disorders Flashcards
Primary hemostasis disorders
vascular disorder
Platelet disorder
Secondary hemostasis disorders
Coagulation factor disorders
Fibrinolytic disorder
Primary hemostasis characteristics
“superficial bleeding at the surface” –> mostly skin and mucous membrane bleeds
Epistaxis
nose bleed
petechiae
pinpoint bruising
purpura
bleed under the skin resulting in larger flat areas (bruises)
PH bleedings
prolonged bleeding of minor cuts
spontaneous gingival bleeds
Mostly skin and mucous membrane bleeds
primary hemostasis
Vascular phase disorders
Before platelet plug forms, excess RBCs leave vessel and start to pool under skin or mucous membrane.
Vascular phase disorders
Primary Purpura
Secondary Purpura
Vascular and connective tissue disorders
Primary purpura
Disorders that results in bruising not associated with any specific disease
Mild bruising with minimal trauma.
Example: Bruising from sneezing, light physical touch, loss of subcutaneous tissue.
Secondary purpura
result of another disease process
Ex: infections or allergic reactions
Metabolic imbalances (Scurvy - Vit C def.)
Abnormal blood vessel structure –> leads to increased blood permeability
example of vascular and connective tissue disorder
Hereditary hemorrhagic Talangiectasia (HHT)
HHT disease
Arteries and veins become abnormally connected
Development of telangiectasis (red line patterns) on mucous membranes and skin
Lesions develop on the tongue, lips, palate, face, hands, nasal mucosa and GI tracts
Quantitative disorders
Thrombocytopenia
Thrombocytosis
Qualitative PLT disorder
Congential disorders of PLT function
- PLT membrane
- PLT secretion
- Coagulation
Acquired qualitative platelet disorders
Related: von Willebrand Disease
Thrombocytopenia
Platelets must be present in adequate numbers to maintain normal hemostasis
Thrombocytopenia: <150,000/ul
PLT<60,000/ul
unexpected bleeding
PLT<10,000/ul
spontaneous bleeding/hemorrhaging
thrombocytopenia is due to
deficient platelet production
Myelophthsisc conditions
BM is infiltrated
aplasia
BM is hypocellular (mostly fat)
Ineffective erythropoiesis (and thrombopoiesis)
megaloblastic anemia
Congenital disorders, examples
